Creating One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is simple! Just follow these clear steps:

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sauté the Chicken: Add diced chicken thighs and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped bell peppers and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
4. Incorporate Rice: Add the uncooked rice to the pan, stirring to combine it with the chicken and vegetables.
5. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and honey BBQ sauce. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
7. Fluff and Garnish: Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the sliced green onions.
8. Serve: Plate the dish and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious meal in no time.
