Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (Approximately 1 minute)

02

Step

When oil is hot, add onion and bell pepper and cook and stir until onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.

03

Step

Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Sauté until it begins to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add barbecue sauce and stir until combined. Transfer mixture to a bowl.

04

Step

Add water, rice pilaf package, and buttery spread to the skillet and bring to a boil. (Approximately 5 minutes)

05

Step

Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking for 5 minutes.

06

Step

Stir in corn; cover and cook an additional 2 minutes.

07

Step

Return chicken mixture to the pan; stir to mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and let stand for about 2 minutes.

08

Step

Serve topped with chopped green onions.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini, yellow squash, or even diced carrots.
If you don't have Rice Pilaf on hand, you can substitute with 1 cup of your favorite rice, adjusting the cooking time and water accordingly.
A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese makes a delicious topping.

    I didn't have any rice pilaf, so I used regular rice and added some chicken broth and dried herbs. It turned out great!
