Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup bell peppers (chopped)
- 1/2 cup onions (chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add Rice and Broth: Once chicken is browned, add rice around the chicken in the pan. Pour in chicken broth and gently stir to settle the rice beneath the chicken.
- Mix Your Sauces: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and BBQ sauce until blended. Drizzle this mixture over the chicken.
- Simmer Away: Cover tightly with a lid or foil, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until rice is cooked and has absorbed all flavors.
- Serve It Up: Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes. Fluff rice with a fork before serving, optionally drizzling more BBQ sauce over the dish.
