A quick and flavorful skillet dish featuring honey-BBQ chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil and sear the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes per side until browned.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the BBQ sauce and honey until smooth, then pour over the seared chicken.
  4. Add the rice and chicken broth, stir once, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook undisturbed for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the mixed vegetables on top and cover to steam.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, fluff the rice, and serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, ensure your BBQ sauce is gluten-free. Serve straight from the skillet for a casual meal.
