Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup brown rice
– 1 ½ cups water (or chicken broth)

Instructions

Creating your own Quick & Healthy Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is easy by following these steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
5. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the chopped bell peppers and broccoli florets. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Add the BBQ Sauce: Pour in the honey BBQ sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through and mix flavors.
7. Combine with Rice: Once the rice is fully cooked, fluff it with a fork and then add it to the skillet. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or BBQ sauce as desired.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and prepare to serve fresh.
