Creating Quick & Healthy Honey BBQ Chicken Rice can be quick and simple with these straightforward steps:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender. Fluff and set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Season the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Sauté the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
6. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat all the pieces evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Combine: Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix everything together until well combined.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish can be garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
