Ingredients
Scale
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Pinch of salt
- Jasmine rice (or brown rice or quinoa)
- Bell peppers
- Corn
- Diced tomatoes
- Ripe avocados
- Additional lime juice
- Additional salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, cook your rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff it up with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, chop up your chosen vegetables—bell peppers, corn, and tomatoes—into bite-sized pieces.
- Start with a base of rice on a plate. Layer with grilled chicken slices, followed by diced avocado and your assortment of veggies. Drizzle with additional lime juice and a sprinkle of salt to taste.
- Enjoy your Honey Lime Chicken Avocado Rice Stack immediately while it’s fresh, vibrant, and delicious!
