Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

Juice of 2 limes

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Avocado Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups chicken broth (or water)

1 ripe avocado, mashed

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Assembly:

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor.

    Prepare the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

      Mix the Avocado Rice: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the mashed avocado, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

          Build the Stack: On a serving plate, layer a portion of avocado rice, followed by sliced honey lime chicken. Repeat the layering process for a stunning tower effect.

            Garnish and Serve: Top the stack with halved cherry tomatoes and garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
