Description
Honey BBQ Chicken with Rice is a mouthwatering dish that’s sure to become a new family favorite. This savory-sweet combination features tender chicken coated in a flavorful honey barbecue sauce, served over a bed of fluffy white rice.
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Long-grain white rice
- Homemade honey barbecue sauce
- Olive oil
- Smoked paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chicken broth
- Green onions (optional)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the diced chicken breasts with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and barbecue sauce. Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the seared chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken evenly.
3. While the chicken is simmering in the honey BBQ sauce, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, combine the long-grain white rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and spoon it onto plates or bowls. Top the rice with the honey BBQ chicken, making sure to drizzle any extra sauce from the skillet over the top. Sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired. Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve the Honey BBQ Chicken with Rice warm and enjoy this delicious, family-friendly meal!
Notes
For the best results, opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
To ensure your rice turns out perfectly fluffy, be sure to use long-grain white rice and cook it in chicken broth instead of water.
If you prefer a sweeter sauce, feel free to add a bit more honey. Conversely, if you’d like a thicker, more intense sauce, let it simmer for an extra minute or two.
