Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack
Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack is a fresh, vibrant dish featuring marinated grilled chicken, fluffy rice, creamy avocado, and a sweet-tangy honey lime drizzle—layered to impress and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 large avocado diced
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional: extra lime wedges and honey-lime sauce for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice thinly.
- To assemble the stacks, use a round mold or ramekin: press a layer of rice into the bottom, add diced avocado and red onion, and top with sliced chicken.
- Gently lift the mold to reveal the stacked layers. Garnish with cilantro and extra honey-lime sauce if desired.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- Use a measuring cup or ring mold to help shape clean layers.
- Brown rice or quinoa can be substituted for white rice for added nutrition.
- This recipe can also be served as a bowl instead of a stack for easier preparation.
