Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this delicious dish to life:

1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. While the chicken is cooking, mix the BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat each piece thoroughly. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
5. For a splash of color and added nutrients, stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of the rice cooking time.
6. Once everything is cooked, serve the chicken over the rice, making sure to drizzle some extra sauce from the pan for that full-flavored finish.

Remember, cooking is about improvisation too. If you find you’re out of an ingredient, don’t hesitate to substitute with what you have on hand. As my grandmother always said, “A pinch of this, a handful of that.”
