Instructions
Creating One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is simple. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by chopping the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Set them aside for cooking.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large, deep skillet or pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Brown the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs or breasts to the pan. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables and Rice: Stir in the diced bell pepper and the uncooked rice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the rice.
5. Add Broth and Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and honey BBQ sauce. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
7. Add Peas: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the frozen peas into the pan. Stir gently to combine.
