Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 ripe avocado
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 1-2 bell peppers, diced
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by combining honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly, then let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork once done and set aside.
- Grill the chicken on a preheated grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the avocado by slicing it in half, removing the pit, and cutting into thin wedges.
- Assemble the stack by layering rice, grilled chicken, avocado wedges, chopped cilantro, and diced bell peppers in a serving dish. Repeat layers as desired, finishing with an avocado slice on top.
- Serve with a squeeze of lime juice on top for added freshness.
Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate longer than 30 minutes for deeper flavor. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
