Ingredients

For the Honey BBQ Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Make the Honey BBQ Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and BBQ sauce. Pour over the cooked chicken, stir to coat evenly, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Assemble: Spoon the rice onto serving plates. Top with the honey BBQ chicken mixture. Add sliced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
