Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in rinsed rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast.
- Add chicken broth, barbecue sauce, and honey to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover again, and let cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.
