Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken for 5–7 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and brown the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix honey, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the glaze.
- Temporarily remove the chicken from the skillet. Add uncooked rice and chicken broth; stir to combine evenly.

- Cover with a lid or foil and bake for about 30-35 minutes until the rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
