Instructions

Creating Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
4. Brown the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet, searing each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Add Broth and Corn: Pour in the chicken broth and add corn (and bell peppers if using). Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
7. Cook Together: Cover the skillet and let everything cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Combine with Rice: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and slice it. Stir the cooked rice into the sauce mixture in the skillet until fully coated.
9. Serve: Plate the rice and top it with sliced chicken. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
