Description
A delicious one-pan meal featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a sweet and tangy honey BBQ sauce, served over fluffy rice with corn and garnished with green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and honey until well combined. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
- Add the corn around the chicken in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the cooked rice according to package instructions if not already done.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken over a bed of rice, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet on top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Substitute brown rice for white rice for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
