Ingredients
  

For the Honey Lime Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Avocado Rice:

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 Lime, juiced

Salt to taste

For Assembly:

Lime wedges, for garnish

Extra cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). After cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Avocado Rice: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice and mashed avocado. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, creating a creamy, flavorful rice mixture.

        Assemble the Stack: On a plate, scoop a generous layer of the avocado rice as the base. Place slices of honey lime chicken on top of the rice. You can repeat the layers if desired for a taller stack.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with lime wedges on the side and sprinkle with extra chopped cilantro for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the lovely combination of flavors!
