Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sear the seasoned chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until browned.
In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce and honey, then pour it over the chicken.
Add the rice and chicken broth, stirring to combine everything well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place mixed vegetables on top to steam them lightly.
After cooking, let the dish sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, feel free to marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for an hour before cooking.
You can substitute the mixed vegetables with your favorite fresh options like bell peppers or broccoli.
This dish is great for leftovers and reheats well in the microwave.
