→ Vegetables

02 - 130 grams of mixed fresh or frozen veggies

05 - Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika
06 - One teaspoon each of onion powder
07 - One teaspoon garlic powder

→ Sauces

08 - 60 ml honey for some sweetness
09 - 120 ml of BBQ sauce

→ Liquids

10 - 480 ml chicken stock

→ Grains

11 - 200 grams of uncooked long-grain rice

→ Protein

12 - About 450 grams of chicken breast or thighs, boneless and skinless

# How to Make It:

01 - Take the pan off the burner and let it chill for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork so it gets all nice and light. Toss some parsley or green onion on top if you’re feeling fancy, then dig in.
02 - Crack open the lid, spread your veggies over the surface, slap the lid back on, and let it all hang out for another 5 minutes. Everything’s ready when the rice is soft and your chicken gets to 74°C inside.
03 - Snuggle the browned chicken back into your pan full of rice and liquids. Let it reach a gentle bubbling, then turn the heat way down. Pop the lid on tight and cook it for about 15 minutes.
04 - Dump in the chicken stock, then pour in the BBQ sauce and honey. Stir until everything’s blended together.
05 - Once you’ve got the chicken out, toss your dry rice in the same pan. Give it a couple minutes while you keep stirring so it doesn’t get stuck.
06 - Start by warming up a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Coat the chicken with your spices and some salt and pepper. Get a bit of oil in there, then cook the chicken on both sides till it’s looking golden. Pull the chicken out and set it aside.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Pick long-grain rice, since shorter kinds can turn mushy after cooking.
02 - Like things sweeter? Add a little extra honey, or keep it light if you don’t.
03 - For more smoky flavor, track down a BBQ sauce with mesquite or hickory notes.
04 - If chicken's not your thing, shrimp, tofu, or even beef swaps right in.
