Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and 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 to the skillet, stirring to combine everything well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook on low for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the mixed vegetables on top to steam them.
After cooking, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add some red pepper flakes to the BBQ sauce.
