Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup black beans, canned, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper, any color
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
