Ingredients

  • For the Honey Lime Chicken:
    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • Juice of 2 limes (about ⅓ cup)
    • Zest of 2 limes
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Rice Base:
    • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • For the Toppings:
    • 1 ripe avocado, diced
    • Juice of ½ lime
    • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
    • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss diced chicken in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken with some marinade. Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and caramelized.
  4. Prepare Toppings: Toss diced avocado with lime juice. Chop red onion and cilantro. Thin sour cream or yogurt with water or lime juice if desired.
  5. Assemble: Divide rice between 4 plates. Top with chicken, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with yogurt or sour cream, and garnish with extra lime zest if desired.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, skip the sour cream or use plant-based yogurt.
  • Add mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Great for meal prep—just store components separately.
