BARBECUED CHICKEN 'N' RICE

Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. , Meanwhile, combine rice and broth in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with chicken and barbecue sauce.

ONE-POT BBQ CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet or pot, add olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper then brown chicken on both sides. Using a pastry brush, brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce onto the chicken on both sides while it is browning. Remove chicken from skillet once halfway cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
• In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Cook until softened then add corn and black beans. Toss to incorporate. Add the rice to the skillet and gently "toast" it for a couple minutes.
• Carefully pour the chicken stock in the skillet and add the remaining BBQ sauce into the skillet. Stir to incorporate completely. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce to a medium-low heat. Place chicken back into skillet and nestled into the rice and liquid. Cook covered for 30 minutes, or until rice is completely cooked through.
• Add cheese on top and cover skillet to melt. Once cheese has melted, remove skillet from heat and top with avocado, diced tomato, and parsley or cilantro, if desired.

BARBECUE CHICKEN AND RICE: ONE DISH DINNER

• Stir in Barbecue Sauce, water and corn, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in rice, bring to slow boil, cover and remove from heat. Let stand about 5 - 7 minutes or until rice is tender.

BAKED BBQ CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Removed skin from chicken and rinse well. Set aside to dry a bit while you perform the other steps.
• Spray the (in)sides of your baking dish with cooking spray, it will make cleanup easier.
• Combine BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar in the baking dish. Add in the (optional) chopped vegetables. (You don't have to stop at the ones I've listed. Also good in there is grated carrot, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, mushrooms -- whatever! Just stay away from vegetables that will introduce too much liquid like squash, cucumber and cabbage. You don't want a runny BBQ sauce.).
• Stir that all up and place your chicken in the baking dish. I like to 'toss' the chicken so it gets completely coated in the bbq.
• Cover with foil and place into oven.
• Bake for 1 hour (up to 1.5 hours -- until you see the chicken start to degrade from the bone).
• Remove foil and return to oven another 15 to 20 minutes to cook sauce on chicken.
• Serve atop or beside rice covered in the extra BBQ sauce (and vegetables, if you've added any).
• ** You can also cook this meal in your crock pot (not the rice, of course)-- just throw it all in there. and make the rice when you get home.
• ** If you have only 2 people to feed, you can do as I have done for the photo and cook up a single large breast (with skin and bone in -- for flavor) in a covered skillet along with the vegetables. Flip after 15 minutes. After another 20 to 25 minutes, pull the breast out, remove skin and debone, cut into cubes. It may not be cooked completely (especially if you threw it in there frozen), so you may see some blood . Then add BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar to pan, and return the chicken to the sauce. Let cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes to reduce sauce. Alternatively, you could (if you had time and the inclination) place the chicken cubes on a pan, coat with sauce, roast for 20-30 minutes at 400F, put it over your rice and BBW /w veg.
• The most important things to understand are: 1) it is the flavor of the chicken bones and ketchup that make the BBQ sauce mild enough to eat straight over rice, and 2) avoid vegetables that will add liquid to the sauce.
• Now, go forth and make BBQ Chicken over rice. :).

BBQ CHICKEN, VEGGIES AND RICE SKILLET

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Saute until it begins to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the BBQ sauce and stir until combined. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
• Add Knorr® Rice SidesTM- Rice Pilaf, water and buttery spread to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Stir in corn; cover and cook an additional 2 minutes. Return chicken mixture to the pan; stir to mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and let stand 2 minutes.
