Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts Opt for thighs for a juicier, more flavorful bite.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Cook until bubbly for an irresistible, rich flavor that lingers.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Use fresh lime juice for zesty brightness that cuts through the sweetness.
  • to taste Seasonings (salt and pepper) Elevate the dish and allow each flavor to shine.
  • 1 cup Rice Choose brown rice for added fiber or quinoa for a lighter, lower-carb base.
  • 2 pieces Avocado Select ripe but firm avocados for slicing.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any desired spices.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cooking

  • Sear the chicken in the skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden crust forms.
  • In a separate pot, combine honey and fresh lime juice over medium heat until bubbling, then pour over the chicken.
  • Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions while the chicken simmers.
  • Slice ripe avocados.

Assembly

  • Layer rice or quinoa on a serving platter, followed by glazed chicken and avocado slices.
  • Drizzle any extra honey lime glaze over the top.

Notes

Let chicken rest before slicing to maintain juiciness. Fluff cooked rice with a fork for an airy texture. Adjust seasonings as desired with garlic powder or paprika.
