Savoring BBQ Chicken and Rice for a Delightful Meal

Savory BBQ Chicken and Rice offers a mouthwatering blend of smoky flavors and tender texture, making it an ideal dish for gatherings or family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven or grill to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish or keep on the grill, brush with BBQ sauce, and cover with foil.
  • Bake or grill for about 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice. In a pot, combine rice and chicken broth, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on plates, topped with sliced BBQ chicken. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
