How to Make Bbq Chicken And Rice

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.

  3. Stir in paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and BBQ sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water. Add rice to the skillet with the chicken mixture.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
