Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the seasoned chicken 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, stirring to combine thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook on low for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the mixed vegetables on top to allow them to steam.
Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork and serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the chicken with your favorite protein or make it vegetarian with beans.
Using a mix of fresh and frozen veggies adds color and texture.
Adjust BBQ sauce and honey to taste for preferred sweetness and tang.
