Description

Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors, combining tender, succulent chicken coated in a rich honey BBQ glaze with fluffy rice. It’s a satisfying, comforting, and convenient dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken thighs into 1.5-inch pieces. Season with salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup honey. Mix well.
  3. Rinse 1 cup long-grain rice until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear seasoned chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the prepared honey BBQ sauce over the chicken, tossing gently to coat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and glazed.
  5. Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with generous portions of the Honey BBQ Chicken, spooning any extra sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions. If desired, serve with steamed mixed vegetables alongside. Serve immediately.
