Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Juice and zest of 2 fresh limes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
  • Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the marinade and sauce.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions, then fluff with a fork.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade, then cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Pour reserved marinade into the skillet and simmer with chicken for a few minutes until thickened, coating the chicken.
  • Stack the dish by scooping a layer of rice onto the plate, adding honey lime chicken, then sprinkling diced avocado and chopped cilantro on top.
  • Repeat layers if desired and finish with a garnish of cilantro and a wedge of lime.
