For the Rice Base

Cooking Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a saucepan with chicken broth, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side until it reaches 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown.
  • In a bowl, combine diced avocado, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and olive oil. Mix gently to maintain the creamy texture.
  • On each plate, layer cooked jasmine rice, top with grilled chicken, and finish with the creamy avocado mix. Serve with fresh lime wedges.

Notes

For optional spice, sprinkle with chili flakes. Best served fresh immediately after assembling.
