Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. Take your boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared honey lime marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a pot, bring chicken broth to a boil and add rinsed rice. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and olive oil, then gently stir to mix.
  7. On a plate, layer jasmine rice, then slice and arrange grilled chicken on top, followed by the avocado mixture.
  8. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
