Bachelor Chow 1: Famous Dave's Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Starting a little series on what I've learned of cooking while living one my own.

Up first is something I threw together for the first time last night.

Ingredients:
1 chicken breast
1/2 to 3/4 cup rice (I used regular brown, I suppose instant would work also, more on that later)
mixed veggies (I used mexican blend, whatever you want can work)
Famous Dave's BBQ Sauce (Texas pit, is adventurous try the devil spit variety)
1-2 sliced cheddar, Monterey, or Colby

Using regular rice, first measure the rice (amount depends on how hungry you are and how much else you are adding, around 1/2 cup is a good place to start though). Dump that in the pan. Measure out twice that volume in water. Add that and turn on the heat (med-hi). Add mixed veggies (optional) (don't bother to thaw, they'll be in hot water for awhile).
Now cook your chicken by your preferred method. I use 3 minutes in the microwave, cut it up, then ~2 more to cook a good sized breast. Your mileage may vary. When this is done, cut the chicken up into small pieces, then dump in the pan.
Now add a healthy shot of BBQ to the pan.
Mix it up, then stir occasional to prevent burn on.
When there isn't much free water, tear the cheese up and add it in. Watch it here so the cheese doesn't burn on. Once the free water is gone, pull it off heat and let it cool enough to eat.

If you use instant rice there won't be as much time to let stuff marinate together, so you should probably heat the other stuff ahead of time and mix it together at once.

This has the bonus advantage of minimal nutrient loss from the veggies, as you aren't discarding the water they were cooked in, with its leeched vitamins. Also, you can tell your mom that you've been eating your vegetables. With the strong BBQ sauce you won't even have to taste them.
