Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- Juice and zest of 2 limes 🍋
- 2 tablespoons honey 🍯
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the stack:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice 🍚
- 1 large avocado, diced 🥑
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- A handful of fresh cilantro (optional) 🌿
- Lime wedges for serving
🔥
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, zest, honey, olive oil, and minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them soak up all that tangy sweetness for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge for even more flavor!). - Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Brush on extra marinade while cooking for that glossy finish. - Prepare the Rice Base
Fluff up your cooked rice and season it lightly with salt and a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness. - Assemble the Stack
On each plate, start with a layer of rice. Top with diced avocado and a few spoonfuls of chopped red onion. Slice the honey lime chicken into strips and place it beautifully on top. Sprinkle with cilantro if you like. - Finish & Serve
Drizzle a little extra honey-lime glaze or olive oil on top, add a lime wedge on the side, and serve immediately! 🌞
