Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  3. In a bowl, mix BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
  4. In the same pan, toast the uncooked rice for 1–2 minutes. Add chicken broth and half the sauce. Stir to combine.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan and pour the remaining sauce over the top.
  6. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
  7. Add mixed vegetables, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the BBQ and honey sauce for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the sweetness by using more or less honey according to your taste.
