Instructions
Creating Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is a delightful process that results in a satisfying meal. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Glaze the Chicken: Brush any remaining marinade on the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
6. Chop Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
7. Combine: In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked rice and sliced chicken. Toss to mix well.
8. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
