Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Short-grain rice
- Korean BBQ sauce
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Green onions
- Chicken broth
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix them with half of the Korean BBQ sauce and let them marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large, deep skillet or a Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped bell peppers, carrots, and any other vegetables you’re using. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the Chicken: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Incorporate the Rice: Once the chicken is cooked, add rinsed rice to the pan. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is well mixed with the chicken and vegetables.
- Add Broth and Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and the remaining Korean BBQ sauce. Stir to combine, then bring to a gentle boil.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Avoid lifting the lid too often, as this lets steam escape.
- Final Touch: Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your One Pan Korean BBQ Chicken and Rice with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if using. Enjoy your delicious meal!
