Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a luscious marinade. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch, promoting fluffiness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of chicken broth for extra depth of flavor. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the hot grill, cooking them for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once grilled, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
- While the chicken is resting, dice 1 ripe avocado into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, add the diced avocado along with finely chopped red onion and fresh cilantro. Gently toss the mixture together.
- To create your Honey Lime Chicken Avocado Rice Stack, start by spooning a generous layer of the fluffy jasmine rice onto a plate. Top the rice with sliced grilled chicken, spread the avocado mix over the chicken, and finish with an extra squeeze of lime.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness and enjoy your delicious meal.

Notes
