Creating One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion, bell pepper, and mince the garlic. This will save time during cooking.
2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When hot, add chicken thighs and season with salt and black pepper. Sear for 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides.
3. Remove Chicken: Once seared, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
5. Stir in Rice: Add the rice to the pan, stirring it with the vegetables to coat it in the flavors.
6. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and honey BBQ sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
7. Return Chicken: Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the rice mixture.
8. Cover and Cook: Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
9. Check Chicken: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked; it should read at least 165°F (74°C) internally when tested.
10. Fluff the Rice: Remove the skillet from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
11. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and added freshness.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious One-Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken Rice that will quickly become a dinner favorite.
