A comforting and delicious one-pan meal combining juicy chicken, flavorful rice, and sweet BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen; peas, corn, bell peppers, green beans)
  • Chopped green onions or parsley (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for searing)

Instructions

  1. Season your chicken pieces evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet or deep pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and delicious.
  4. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate to keep warm.
  5. Toss in your uncooked rice and toast it for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, then add your BBQ sauce and honey.
  7. Return the seared chicken to the pan, nestling the pieces into the comforting rice mixture.
  8. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  9. Add the mixed vegetables on top of the rice and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from heat and let the dish rest, still covered, for about 5 minutes.
  11. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.

Notes

This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or crusty garlic bread. Ensure the chicken is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.
