Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Can use vegetable or canola oil.

For the Rice

  • 1 cup Long Grain White Rice Avoid instant rice.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Vegetable broth makes a great substitute.

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce Choose a smoky or spicy version.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Fresh onions can be sautéed for added flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chicken for about 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Mix BBQ sauce and honey in a bowl, then pour half of this mixture over the chicken. Let it caramelize for 1–2 minutes.
  • Add uncooked long-grain white rice to the skillet and pour in chicken broth. Mix everything and bring it to a simmer.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and bake it in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the top once removed from the oven.
  • Let it rest uncovered for about 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.

Notes

Feel free to customize with additional veggies or BBQ sauce flavors. To add color, sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
