Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons Limes (Juiced) Fresh lime juice preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
For the Rice
  • 1 cup Rice (uncooked) Use quinoa or brown rice for gluten-free options.
  • 1 cup Avocado (Diced) Brings creaminess and healthy fats.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (Chopped) Adds freshness.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can substitute for tanginess.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • medium pot
  • Grill or skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add your uncooked rice. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  3. Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream, folding gently to keep the avocado chunky.
  5. Assemble by placing a scoop of avocado rice on each plate, layer with sliced chicken, and serve immediately.
