Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 large avocados, ripe
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook the rice according to your preferred method until fluffy.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add cubed chicken in a single layer and brown on all sides.
  6. Pour the honey-lime mixture over the chicken and simmer until the glaze thickens and coats the meat.
  7. Divide rice into bowls and top with the glazed chicken.
  8. Add half an avocado, sliced, to each bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute jasmine rice with quinoa for extra fiber. Adjust spice levels by adding a pinch of red chili flakes to the marinade. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but add fresh avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
