In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs or breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

In a bowl, whisk together your favorite BBQ sauce and honey until smooth. Pour this delicious mixture over the seared chicken in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it simmer on medium-low for about 2-3 minutes.

Gently stir in the long-grain white rice and chicken broth, ensuring everything is well combined. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for approximately 20 minutes, until the rice is tender.

Layer your mixed vegetables on top of the chicken and rice mixture. Cover the skillet again and let the veggies steam for an additional 5 minutes.

Once the vegetables are tender, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes with the lid on. Use a fork to fluff the rice gently, combining all the delicious ingredients.
