For the Chicken

- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)

For the Rice and Avocado

- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Chicken Preparation
- In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
Rice and Avocado Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped coriander, and lime juice. Add salt to taste and mix well.
- For the avocado, slice them and sprinkle with lime juice, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Assembly
- To assemble, start with a layer of the rice mixture on a plate.
- Add slices of the honey lime chicken on top.
- Finally, arrange avocado slices on top of the chicken. Repeat layers if desired.
Notes
Serve warm with extra lime wedges on the side. This dish can be paired with a side salad or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, keeping avocados separate to prevent browning. Enjoy within 2-3 days for best flavor.
