Print Recipe

A delicious one-pan dish featuring tender chicken and fluffy rice soaked in a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, chopped or left whole
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth, warm
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken, and sear until browned on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Toast the rice in the skillet for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add chicken broth, BBQ sauce, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine.
  6. Add mixed vegetables and return the chicken to the skillet.
  7. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking until rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, around 20-25 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
