Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice
Looking for an easy and flavorful family dinner? This one-pan honey BBQ chicken and rice is your new weeknight hero! 🍯🔥
🕒 Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Total Time: 30 min
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite honey BBQ variety)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5–7 minutes. This step locks in flavor and gives the chicken that irresistible golden crust! 🔥 - Toast the Rice:
Stir in the rice and cook for 1–2 minutes. This helps the grains absorb the flavor from the chicken juices and oil. - Add Liquid & Sauce:
Pour in chicken broth and BBQ sauce. Stir everything together so the rice is evenly coated and the flavors blend beautifully. - Simmer to Perfection:
Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low. Let cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy. - Rest & Fluff:
Remove from heat and let sit (covered) for 3–5 minutes. Then fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve warm. ✨
💡 Pro Tips:
- Add Veggies: Toss in bell peppers or corn before simmering for added color and nutrition.
- Flavor Boost: Use bone-in chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
- Storage Hack: Store leftovers in an airtight container and add a splash of broth when reheating to keep it moist.
