Ingredients:
- 1 bottle barbecue sauce
- 4 chicken breasts, thawed
- 2 cups rice
- 4 cups water
Instructions:
-
Prepare BBQ Sauce: Pour barbecue sauce into a large skillet or pan, then fill the empty bottle halfway with tap water (or use your preferred liquid) and add half of it to the pan.
-
Blend Sauce: Stir the sauce and water mixture until well blended over low to medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Add Chicken: Place the thawed chicken breasts into the skillet with the sauce, ensuring they are coated evenly.
-
Cook Chicken: Cook the chicken in the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through. Reduce the heat to low to keep it warm while you prepare the rice.
-
Monitor Consistency: Keep an eye on the sauce consistency and add more water from the bottle if needed to maintain a desired thickness.
-
Prepare Rice: In a separate saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir for a minute before reducing the heat to medium-low.
-
Cook Rice: Cover the saucepan with the lid and let the rice simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until it is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
-
Serve: Once everything is cooked to perfection, plate the BBQ chicken alongside the fluffy rice, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures. Optionally, add a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
