A deliciously bold and sweet one-pan dish featuring honey BBQ chicken and fluffy rice, making for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Scale

1 lb boneless

skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 cup long-grain rice

2 cups chicken broth

½ cup BBQ sauce

¼ cup honey

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup mixed vegetables

chopped green onions or parsley (optional

for garnish)

In a large skillet or pan, combine the chicken, rice, chicken broth, BBQ sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice has absorbed the broth.
Add the mixed vegetables during the last 5 minutes of cooking, stirring to combine.
Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.

Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences, and adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more honey or BBQ sauce.
