Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup honey, the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place 1 pound of chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6–8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and pour the leftover marinade into it. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes to thicken into a glaze.
- Prepare 1 cup of rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once cooked, ensuring it’s warm and fluffy.
- Slice 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Dice into small pieces.
- In a food ring mold or ramekin, press a warm layer of rice firmly into the shape, then layer the diced avocado on top.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips, layer over the avocado, and drizzle the thickened glaze generously over the chicken.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro and diced red onion over the top for garnish.
