Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Rice Mix
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine honey and lime juice. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest briefly.
- Prepare the rice mixture: In a separate bowl, mix cooked rice, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste, combining gently to preserve avocado texture.
- Assemble the dish: Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips and layer them over the avocado rice mixture to create a stacked presentation.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the honey lime chicken and avocado rice stack immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken longer (up to 2 hours) will intensify the flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best tang and aroma.
- For a gluten-free dish, ensure all ingredients used are certified gluten-free.
- Cook rice in advance to reduce preparation time.
