A flavorful one-pan dish featuring tender honey BBQ chicken thighs cooked with seasoned rice and vegetables—perfect for an easy and satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add rice, chicken broth, peas, and corn. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.
  6. Brush chicken generously with honey BBQ sauce.
  7. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  8. Uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and rice is tender.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like diced carrots or green beans.
  • For spicier flavor, mix hot sauce into the BBQ sauce.
