Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup long-grain white or brown rice (uncooked)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, garlic, and soy sauce to create the marinade.
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Cook the rice according to package instructions while the chicken marinates.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard leftover marinade) and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In bowls or plates, layer warm rice first, followed by sliced chicken and diced avocado. Drizzle with any remaining sauce if desired.
