Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Avocado Rice: Cook rice according to package instructions using water or chicken broth. Fluff with a fork and stir in olive oil, diced avocado, cilantro, lime zest, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble: Layer avocado rice in serving dishes and top with sliced honey lime chicken. Garnish with sour cream and lime wedges if desired.
