Honey BBQ Chicken Rice

The 20-Minute Comfort Dinner

Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cups cooked white rice (leftover rice works best)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh scallions, for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Sear the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together:

BBQ sauce
Honey
Soy sauce

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet.

Simmer & Glaze

Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens and coats the chicken nicely.

Add the Rice

Add the cooked rice directly into the skillet.
Gently toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until heated through and well combined.

Serve

Garnish with:

Fresh scallions
Sesame seeds
