Instructions
Follow these steps to create this amazing meal:
1. Prep Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion and bell peppers, then mincing the garlic.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine honey and BBQ sauce. Add the chicken thighs, coating them evenly. Let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onions. Sauté until they become translucent.
4. Cook Garlic and Peppers: Add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Brown Chicken: Remove the onions and peppers from the skillet. In the same pan, add the marinated chicken thighs. Brown them on both sides for about 5 minutes per side.
6. Add Rice and Broth: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet. Add the rice, chicken broth, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
7. Combine and Simmer: Lay the browned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 25-30 minutes.
8. Check the Rice: At the 25-minute mark, check if the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. If not, continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
9. Rest and Fluff: Once done, remove from heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
