Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breasts, diced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• to taste salt and pepper
• 1 cup white rice
• 1 1/2 c water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 whole avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, diced
• 1 wedge lime

Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper with a whisk. Place the chicken pieces into the mixture, flipping to ensure even coverage, then cover and marinate for 20 minutes up to overnight.

2

Cook the Rice Base: In a medium pot, combine the white rice, water, and salt, bringing the mixture to a boil. Lower the flame, place the lid on top, and allow to simmer gently for 18 minutes before taking it off the heat to rest covered for another 5 minutes.

3

Incorporate the Aromatics and Avocado: Separate and fluff the cooked rice gently with a fork, then fold in the diced fresh avocado, chopped cilantro, and red onion pieces. Drizzle with fresh lime juice from the wedge and toss everything together carefully.

4

Sauté the Chicken: Set a skillet over medium heat on the stove. Transfer the marinated chicken cubes into the pan along with a splash of the remaining marinade, cooking for 7 to 10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.

5

Construct the Stack: Plate a generous portion of the seasoned rice mixture using a mold or bowl to form a stack. Arrange the cooked honey lime chicken directly on top and finish with extra cilantro or a fresh lime wedge if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute another protein in this recipe? Yes! While this is fine-tuned for juicy Chicken Recipes, the bright marinade works beautifully with shrimp, salmon, or tofu if you are looking to change up your weekly Chicken Dishes rotation. How do I keep the avocado from browning in the leftovers? The fresh citrus juice squeezed over the Avocado Rice acts as a natural shield to slow down oxidation. If you are prepping this ahead for your Clean Eating routine, store the chicken and rice components separately and add fresh avocado right before serving. What type of rice works best for stacking? Standard long-grain white rice or jasmine rice works best in this Cooking Kitchen favorite. The naturally tender, slightly sticky texture helps hold the structural form of your gorgeous Chicken Avocado Rice presentation perfectly.
