Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup long-grain white rice, cooked

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill (or sear) for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Rice: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, corn, and red onion. Gently mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Stack: On a serving plate, place a generous scoop of the avocado rice mixture as the base. Layer sliced honey lime chicken on top and add another scoop of the rice mixture. If desired, finish with an extra squeeze of lime juice and garnish with more cilantro.

          Serve: Serve your Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick.
