Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white rice uncooked
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts chicken breasts
  • 1 avocado ripe avocado sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or honey for extra sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pot
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or boiling water until tender and fluffy, then let it cool slightly.
  2. Whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a splash of olive oil in a bowl to create the marinade.
  3. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, then place them in the marinade. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, then cook the marinated chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Slice the ripe avocado into thin, even slices just before assembling to prevent browning.
  6. Begin assembling the stack by placing a base of rice on your serving plate.
  7. Add a layer of cooked chicken over the rice, spreading it evenly.
  8. Arrange slices of avocado neatly on top of the chicken layer.
  9. Repeat the layering process—rice, chicken, avocado—to build a tall, colorful stack.
  10. Finish by drizzling a bit of the remaining honey lime dressing over the top for extra flavor and gloss.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges or herbs if desired.
