Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: Stir in the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Once the rice is cooked, add sliced chicken and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir until the chicken is well coated and heated through. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Grilled BBQ Chicken Rice Skillet.
