Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (or thighs for a juicier option)
- 1/4 cup Honey (cook until bubbly for best flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (fresh juice preferred)
- to taste Seasonings (salt, pepper, etc.)
- 1 cup Rice (brown rice or quinoa)
- 2 pieces Avocado (ripe but firm)
Instructions
- Rinse and cook the rice according to package instructions; keep warm.
- Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot skillet until golden on both sides.
- Reduce heat, add honey and lime juice to the pan, bring to a simmer, and cook until syrupy.
- Spoon the glaze over the chicken while it finishes cooking.
- Let the chicken rest for five minutes, then slice thinly.
- Slice avocados just before assembling.
- To assemble, mound rice, layer avocado slices, and fan the glazed chicken on top.
- Finish with an extra squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
Notes
Always pat chicken dry before searing for crispy edges. Store avocado separately to prevent browning.
