Honey Lime Chicken and Avocado Rice Stack is a fresh, flavorful, and healthy dish featuring tender grilled chicken, zesty honey lime marinade, and creamy avocado, all layered with seasoned rice for the perfect bite every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked white rice (or brown rice)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for avocado rice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the avocado rice. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir gently to combine. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  3. Heat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  5. To assemble the stack, layer a spoonful of the avocado rice on the bottom of a plate or bowl. Top with sliced honey lime chicken and repeat layers until you’ve stacked to your liking.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can also grill or sauté some bell peppers or onions and add them to the stack.
  • Feel free to use brown rice or quinoa for a more nutritious option.
  • If you’re meal prepping, store the chicken and rice separately to keep the ingredients fresh.
