Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Rice:
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 avocado, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1 lime wedge
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger until combined.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
- Cook the rice with water and salt according to package directions until fluffy. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken cubes for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
- Pour any remaining marinade into the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
- In a small bowl, gently combine the diced avocado, cilantro, and red onion. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the top.
- To assemble the stack, press rice into a cup or mold and invert onto a plate. Top with the glazed chicken and finish with the avocado mixture.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the avocado is fresh.
