Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup jasmine rice or basmati
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
  • 4 lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until combined to make the marinade.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a shallow dish or zip-top bag with half the marinade. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the rice by rinsing jasmine rice under cold water, boiling 2 cups of chicken broth, adding rice, reducing heat to low, and simmering for 15 minutes.
  4. Prep the avocado topping by combining diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Season as desired.
  5. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, glazing with reserved marinade near the end.
  6. Rest chicken, slice thinly against the grain.
  7. Assemble stacks with a bed of rice, sliced chicken, avocado mixture, and garnish with lime wedges.

Notes

For less sweetness, reduce honey to 2 tablespoons. Gluten-free if using certified gluten-free broth.
