  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cubed
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1–2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix honey, lime juice + zest, olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper. Marinate cubed chicken at least 15–30 min.
  2. Heat skillet over medium‑high, cook chicken ~6–8 min until 165°F internal. Rest.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook chicken—use thermometer for best results.
  • Assemble stacks right before serving to avoid avocado browning.
  • Marinate chicken longer (up to overnight) for deeper flavor.
  • Cook rice ahead of time and reheat with a splash of water to keep it fluffy.
