Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken and sear 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 to the skillet, stirring to combine everything.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for about 20 minutes until the rice becomes tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the mixed vegetables on top to steam.
Once done, let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork and serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.
You can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
Make sure to use long-grain rice for best results.
