Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (use thighs for a juicier option)
  • 1/4 cup Honey (cook until bubbly for the best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Rice

  • 1 cup Rice (brown rice for extra fiber or quinoa for a lower-carb option)
  • Salt, to taste

For the Avocado

  • 2 pieces Avocado (ripe but firm for slicing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Honey Lime Glaze & Cook Chicken: In a small bowl, mix honey and fresh lime juice to create a glaze. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts about 6-7 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden. During the last minute of cooking, brush the glaze over the chicken so it becomes sticky and flavorful.
  3. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and season lightly with salt to taste.
  4. Slice the Avocado: Just before assembling, slice the avocado carefully to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
  5. Assemble the Stack: Using a ring mold or cookie cutter, layer the cooked rice first, then place the glazed chicken on top, and finish with slices of avocado. Drizzle with additional lime juice for a fresh zing before serving.

Notes

  • Pound chicken evenly to ensure thorough and even cooking.
  • Cook the honey until bubbly for a richer glaze flavor.
  • Slice avocado immediately before assembling to avoid browning.
  • Store cooked components separately for best meal prep results.
  • Adjust seasoning and lime juice to personal taste preferences.
