Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1/3 cup pure honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides (about 5-6 minutes per side).
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
- In a bowl, mix honey and BBQ sauce together until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
- Sprinkle rice evenly over the chicken, then carefully pour chicken broth around the edges of the pan without disturbing the sauce.
- Bring to a gentle boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until rice absorbs most of the liquid.
- Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
