Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
Rice and Avocado Mix
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine honey and lime juice. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Prepare the rice mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the cooked rice with the diced avocado, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
- Assemble the stack: Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces. On each plate, layer a portion of the avocado rice mixture and top with sliced grilled chicken.
- Serve: Serve the stacks immediately while the chicken is warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful meal!
Notes
- Marinating the chicken longer than 30 minutes will enhance the flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best taste.
- Cook the rice in advance to save time.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
- For a spicier kick, add finely chopped jalapeños to the rice mixture.
