Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 tbsp lime juice (for avocado salsa)
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp olive oil (for salsa)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a separate bowl, mix diced avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt.
- To assemble, place a layer of jasmine rice on the bottom of a plate or ring mold, followed by avocado salsa, then sliced honey-lime chicken on top.
- Drizzle with any remaining marinade or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For added crunch, top with toasted sesame seeds or crushed tortilla chips.
- Can be served warm or chilled as a refreshing summer meal.
- Substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
