Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup rice
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- Optional: diced bell peppers or onions
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat; add the chicken and brown on both sides until golden.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey and BBQ sauce until smooth.
- Pour the honey-BBQ mixture over the browned chicken in the pan, coating each piece.
- Add rice to the pan, then pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low to achieve a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for about 20–25 minutes.
- If using vegetables, add them during the last 10 minutes of cooking so they stay slightly crisp-tender.
- Let the pan sit off the heat for a minute before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add cayenne to the BBQ mix. Use low-sugar BBQ for a healthier option.
