Making One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
4. Mix Sauces: In a bowl, combine BBQ sauce and honey. Stir well until mixed.
5. Add Rice: Once the chicken is cooked, add the rice to the pan, stirring to combine everything.
6. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth and the BBQ-honey mixture to the rice and chicken. Stir until the rice is evenly coated.
7. Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and absorbs the liquid.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the pan from heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes to fluff the rice.
9. Garnish: Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for an extra flavor boost.

Following these steps will ensure you achieve a mouthwatering dish that’s both filling and satisfying.
