Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- Juice of 2 Limes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Avocado
- 1 cup Rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- Optional vegetables or herbs (cilantro, green onions)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Rice: While the chicken marinates, cook your rice according to the package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Avocado Rice: In a bowl, mash the avocado until creamy, then fold it into the cooked rice.
- Assemble and Serve: Place a generous scoop of the avocado rice on a plate and lay the honey lime chicken on top. Garnish with optional vegetables or fresh herbs.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for enhanced flavor. Use an air fryer for a quicker cooking method.
