# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
After the heat is off, let everything cool for about five minutes. Fluff that rice up with a fork, sprinkle on your green stuff, and dig in.
02 -
Lift the lid, dump in your veggies on top, cover again, and give it another five minutes cooking. Your chicken will be done and the rice soft by then.
03 -
Put chicken pieces back in and press them down a bit into the rice mix. Get it to a low bubble, turn the flame down, cover, and let it sit for around fifteen minutes.
04 -
Add your broth, BBQ sauce, and squeeze in the honey. Swirl it around until it all blends together.
05 -
Pour the uncooked rice into your pan and toast it for one or two minutes, stirring so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
06 -
Crank your pan to medium and toss in some oil. Coat the chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and a shake of smoked paprika. Sear them for three to four minutes on each side till they get that brown color. Set the cooked chicken aside for a bit.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Go for long grain rice so it stays fluffy. Short grains will probably turn soft and sticky.
02 -
Add more or less honey depending on how sweet you want things.
03 -
If smoky’s your vibe, pick a barbecue sauce with lots of mesquite or hickory.
04 -
You can swap chicken for tofu, shrimp, or beef if you want to change it up.
