Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and honey until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In the same skillet, add the corn, black beans, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the cooked rice and half of the BBQ honey mixture. Mix well to combine and heat through.
  7. 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.
