Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well-coated, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse deeply.
- While the chicken marinates, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a pot, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, stir briefly, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the broth and steam holes appear on the surface.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover liquid. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once grilled, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and olive oil. Gently toss the ingredients together until evenly mixed, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- To assemble your dish, take a generous serving of the fluffy jasmine rice and place it on a dinner plate. Top the rice with slices of the grilled honey lime chicken, ensuring to lay them neatly for a colorful presentation. Spoon the refreshing avocado mix over the chicken to complete your stack.
- Garnish your Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick and sprinkle with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while everything is warm and vibrant.
