Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite)

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions:

  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes

  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and honey. Adjust the honey to taste, depending on how sweet you like your sauce.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the rice to the skillet with the browned chicken, stirring to coat the rice in the pan juices. Pour in the chicken broth and the honey BBQ sauce mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  5. Rest: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to finish cooking.

  6. Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions if desired.

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Add Vegetables: For extra nutrition and color, consider adding diced bell peppers, corn, or peas to the skillet along with the rice.

  • Use Brown Rice: If you prefer brown rice, note that it requires a longer cooking time and additional liquid. Adjust accordingly.

  • Make It Spicy: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the sauce for a spicy kick.

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to keep it moist.
