A bright and flavorful honey lime chicken dish served over jasmine rice with creamy avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons golden honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (hot)
  • 1 to 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • Fresh lime wedges for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro or chives
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together honey, soy sauce or tamari, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, adding a small drizzle of oil if the skillet is dry.
  4. Arrange the chicken strips in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until nicely caramelized and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the cooked chicken to a warm plate, let it rest, and reserve any pan juices.
  6. Pack the hot cooked jasmine rice tightly into a small ramekin or measuring cup.
  7. Fan sliced avocado on top of each rice stack, then pile warm honey lime chicken over the avocado.
  8. Spoon any pan juices over the chicken and garnish with cilantro or chives, sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust honey for less sweetness if desired.
