Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a bowl, combine chicken with fresh lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator; for deeper flavor, you can marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Grill or pan-sear each side for about 6–7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and has clear juices running.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, follow package instructions to prepare your rice, typically involving rinsing, boiling, and cooking for about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Just before assembling, slice ripe avocados into even pieces and lightly drizzle lime juice over them to prevent browning.
  5. Layer your stack by spooning rice on a plate, topping it with grilled chicken, and then adding avocado slices. Drizzle with remaining marinade.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately to enjoy the blend of flavors.
