Description

A vibrant and fresh Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack recipe that perfectly combines tangy, sweet grilled chicken with creamy avocado and seasoned rice, ideal for a quick and healthy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Avocado Rice Stack

  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine honey and lime juice and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill and cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Prepare Avocado Rice Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to mix all ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble the Stack: Slice the grilled chicken breasts into even pieces. Layer the avocado rice mixture on a plate and top with the sliced grilled chicken.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and enjoy this fresh, flavorful dinner stack.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for longer (up to 2 hours) for enhanced flavor.
  • Use brown rice for a healthier, fiber-rich alternative.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illness.
  • Optional: add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
