Description

Juicy honey-lime chicken layered over fluffy rice and creamy avocado for a beautiful, easy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

2 chicken breasts

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp lime zest

2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

1½ cups cooked jasmine rice

1 tbsp butter

12 ripe avocados

Salt, pepper, lime, cilantro for garnish


Instructions

1. Whisk honey, lime, garlic, and oil; marinate chicken 30 minutes.

2. Cook rice; mix with butter, lime juice, and zest.

3. Grill or pan-sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side.

4. Mash avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper.

5. Layer rice, avocado, and sliced chicken to serve.

Notes

Use thighs for juicier meat. Brown rice adds fiber. Make vegetarian by swapping chicken for tofu.
