Ingredients
  

For the Honey Lime Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
For the Assembly
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice a hearty base that’s full of fiber
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced creamy goodness that complements the dish
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, adds a pop of color and freshness
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped, a fragrant herb that ties it all together
  • to taste salt and pepper essential for enhancing flavors
  • for serving lime wedges for that extra zing!

Equipment

  • Grill or Skillet
  • Bowl
  • Resealable Bag or Shallow Dish

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Step 4: In a serving dish, layer the cooked brown rice as the base. Top with sliced chicken, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle with additional lime juice if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last about 3-4 days. Just remember, the avocado may brown a bit, so it's best to add that fresh before serving.
