  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– Lime wedges, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Honey Lime Chicken with Avocado Rice Stacks is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the Rice: If you haven’t done so already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
4. Grill or Sauté the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Prepare the Avocado Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
6. Assemble the Stacks: On a plate, layer the avocado rice mixture and top it with sliced chicken. You can stack them for a beautiful presentation.
7. Garnish and Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
