  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup brown rice (or white rice)
  • 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, or carrots)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Rice

  1. Prepare Rice: Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Add Vegetables

  1. Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 4: Serve
