Easy Honey BBQ Chicken Rice
Quick to make, minimal cleanup, packed with flavor – a perfect weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- Long-grain white rice
- Honey BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand or flavor)
- Chicken broth (for cooking the rice and adding flavor)
- Frozen mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add rice and chicken broth to the same skillet; bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits for flavor.
- Stir in the honey BBQ sauce and frozen mixed vegetables. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture.
- Cover and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, until the rice is tender and the flavors have melded. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
