Instructions

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

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce and honey for a few hours before cooking.
Feel free to swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites or what you have on hand.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
