Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the uncooked rice, chicken broth, honey BBQ sauce, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
