Description
A delightful dish combining grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and fluffy rice with a refreshing honey-lime marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken breasts
- Juice and zest of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Avocado (for stacking)
- Rice (cooked, for stacking)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together lime juice, lime zest, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat grill or pan over medium heat. Grill or pan-cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Slice the chicken: Allow cooked chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- Stack the ingredients: Layer cooked rice, sliced chicken, and diced avocado on each plate.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle additional lime juice on top if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Marinating longer enhances taste. Customize avocado size as desired.
