Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil, then stir in the rinsed jasmine rice. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C). Carefully remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it on the hot grill. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once grilled, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. While your chicken is resting, prepare the creamy avocado mixture. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently mix the ingredients to avoid mashing the avocado too much, keeping its lovely texture intact. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld while you assemble the dish.
  5. To create your beautiful Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack, start by layering the fluffy jasmine rice at the base of your serving plates. On top of the rice, arrange the sliced grilled chicken, then generously spoon the creamy avocado mixture over the chicken.
  6. To finish, garnish your vibrant stacks with lime wedges and extra cilantro for a fresh pop of color. Invite your guests to personalize their servings by squeezing fresh lime over their stacks for an added zesty kick. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet honey, tangy lime, and creamy avocado in every bite!
