Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

2. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure chicken is fully cooked with no pink remaining in the center.
3. After resting, slice chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a separate bowl, combine cooked jasmine rice with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of lime juice. Gently toss together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Spoon rice mixture onto plates or bowls, then top with sliced honey lime chicken.
Notes
Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and fresh lime wedges. For added kick, diced tomatoes or jalapeños can be included. A dollop of Greek yogurt can provide a creamy contrast.
