Equipment
- 1 large skillet or frying pan with a lid
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 knife
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup honey BBQ sauce
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- chopped green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is browned, add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and honey BBQ sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Cover anew and continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy your one-pan meal!
Notes
You can easily customize this dish by adding your favorite vegetables.
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking.
Make sure to check the rice occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
