Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (cooled slightly)

  • Optional: diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or a dollop of Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado rice stack by combining the cooked rice, diced avocado, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips.
  6. To assemble, layer the rice mixture on a plate, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges. Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
  • Use ripe avocados for the best texture.
  • This dish can be served warm or cold.
