  • to taste Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, etc.) adjust according to personal taste

For the Rice

For the Avocado

  • 1 piece Sliced Jalapeños perfect if you love a bit of heat

Preparation

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a mallet or rolling pin. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the honey and lime juice together in a mixing bowl.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with the honey-lime glaze in the last minute.
  • Prepare the rice according to the package instructions. Fluff it with a fork once done.
  • Slice the avocado just before assembly to maintain freshness.
  • Layer your stack by placing a portion of rice at the bottom, followed by the chicken, and topped with avocado slices.

Notes

To avoid browning, slice your avocado just before assembly or brush lightly with lime juice. Store components separately for freshness.
