Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack
Ingredients:
For the Chicken Marinade:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 2 limes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Rice:
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
For the Stack Assembly:
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 small tomato, diced
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Optional: lime wedges
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
In a small bowl, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, and a pinch of salt.
To assemble the stacks, use a round mold or small bowl: layer cilantro-lime rice, then a spoonful of avocado mixture, followed by sliced grilled chicken.
Carefully remove the mold, garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedge if desired. Serve warm.
