Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime zest
- 2 limes juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together olive oil, lime zest and juice, honey, mustard, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Let rest, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: Combine diced avocado with lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper. Mash slightly for creamier texture or leave chunky.
- Make the Rice Base: Mix cooked rice with olive oil, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble the Stack: Layer rice, avocado mixture, and sliced chicken in a bowl or jar. Garnish with lime juice and cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate chicken up to 2 hours.
- Drizzle with honey-lime sauce or serve with Greek yogurt for extra flair.
