  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups long-grain rice
– 3 cups chicken broth
– ½ cup honey
– ½ cup BBQ sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)


Instructions

Creating One-Pan Honey BBQ Chicken Rice can be simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
4. Add Rice: Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes to toast it slightly.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, honey, and BBQ sauce, stirring well to combine.
6. Add Vegetables: Mix in the frozen vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts back on top of the rice mixture.
8. Simmer: Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
9. Check for Doneness: Uncover the pan to ensure the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, adding more broth if necessary.
10. Serve: Once everything is cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and serve the chicken garnished with additional BBQ sauce if desired.

Following these steps will help you create this amazing dish with ease.
