Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

For the Avocado Layer:

  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  4. Prepare the Avocado: In a separate bowl, toss the avocado slices with lime juice, salt, and pepper to prevent browning.
  5. Assemble the Stack: On a plate, start with a layer of the cilantro lime rice, followed by slices of the grilled chicken, and then the avocado slices. Drizzle with any remaining honey-lime dressing.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack immediately!
