– 2 cups jasmine rice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup frozen corn
– 1 cup chopped green onions
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
Follow these simple steps to whip up your One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice:
1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Once hot, add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell pepper and corn, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
4. Combine Rice: Add the jasmine rice to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the chicken and vegetables.
5. Add Sauces: Pour in the honey BBQ sauce and chicken broth, stirring everything together until well mixed.
6. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
7. Simmer: Cover the skillet and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
8. Fluff Rice: After 15 minutes, remove the skillet from heat. Allow it to sit for another 5 minutes with the lid on. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
9. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and color.
Each step is straightforward, ensuring you can create this delicious dish with ease.
