1 cup honey BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey BBQ sauce and honey.
Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
Pour the honey BBQ glaze over the chicken and stir to coat evenly until sticky.
