Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 2 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced or mashed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat it evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to overnight.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the rice with water or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Keep the rice warm until ready to assemble the dinner bowls.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or dicing it.
  4. Gently toss the diced or mashed avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  5. Using a ring mold or ramekin, layer the cilantro-lime rice on the bottom, followed by the avocado, and then the sliced or diced Glazed Honey Lime Chicken on top. Gently press down, then carefully remove the mold. Alternatively, you can simply layer the components in a bowl: rice, avocado, and chicken.
  6. Finish the dish by drizzling any reserved honey-lime marinade over the top. Feel free to add your desired toppings.

Notes

The Glazed Honey Lime Chicken with Avocado and Rice Stack Dinner Bowl can be served as a family-style meal or portioned out individually for easy meal prep. It pairs beautifully with a fresh, crisp salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a well-balanced and satisfying dinner.
