Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Honey BBQ Chicken Rice Bowl that combines tender chicken, flavorful rice, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and honey until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the corn, black beans, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the cooked rice and half of the BBQ honey mixture. Mix well to combine and heat through.
- To serve, divide the rice mixture among bowls, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with the remaining BBQ honey sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions and shredded cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the rice mixture.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth for cooking the rice.
