Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small onion (diced)

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup corn (optional)
  • ½ cup black beans (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with spices, and sear for about 5–6 minutes. Remove from pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and chili flakes; set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté onion until soft, then add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Toast the rice for a minute, then pour in chicken broth.
