One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice

Print Recipe

A flavorful one-pan dish featuring tender chicken thighs or breasts simmered with rice, BBQ sauce, honey, and mixed vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth, warm
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables, fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Massage the spices into the meat so the flavors adhere well.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate to rest while you prepare the rice base.
  4. Add the rice to the same skillet and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, BBQ sauce, and honey, stirring to combine.
  6. Add mixed vegetables and return the chicken to the skillet, cooking covered on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, spooning the saucy rice and vegetables alongside sliced or whole pieces of chicken.

Notes

Use warm chicken broth for better rice cooking. Let chicken rest after browning.
