Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (for marinade)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime Zest
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice (or basmati)
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 pieces Avocado (diced)
- 1 small Red Onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 pieces Lime Wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Check that it reaches 165°F internally. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
- Prepare the Avocado Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. Gently toss together.
- Assemble the Stack: Start with a layer of fluffy rice on the bottom, followed by sliced chicken, topped with the creamy avocado salsa and garnished with lime wedges.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the harmony of flavors!
