Method
 

Marinade and Cook
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over, seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water. In a saucepan, boil chicken broth, add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (~400°F).
  5. Remove marinated chicken from the refrigerator, grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Toss gently to coat, keeping avocado chunky.
  7. On each plate, add jasmine rice, layer with grilled chicken, and top with the avocado mix. Serve with lime wedges.
