How to Make Barbecue Chicken And Rice

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of water.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Stir in 1 cup minute rice and 1 cup frozen corn.
  5. Cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor. Serve with a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal!
