Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Pot
  • Measuring cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 cups chicken thighs juicy and perfect for absorbing the rich honey BBQ flavor
  • ¼ cup honey BBQ sauce adds a sweet and smoky glaze
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil helps achieve a golden-brown crust
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances overall flavor
  • 1 teaspoon pepper adds a subtle kick

For the Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice fragrant and fluffy
  • 2 cups water necessary for cooking the rice

For the Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots) provides color and nutrition

Instructions
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Pour ¼ cup of honey BBQ sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  • Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare 1 cup of mixed vegetables in a small pan by steaming or sautéing them until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove rice from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. Top rice with honey BBQ chicken and mixed vegetables.

Notes

Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly for fluffiness. Store chicken, rice, and veggies separately to maintain texture.
