A delicious and tangy grilled chicken stack infused with honey and lime, served over a bed of fluffy rice and topped with avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Layer slices of grilled chicken atop a bed of cooked rice, top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For more flavor, you can marinate the chicken longer, but avoid going over 24 hours. This recipe also adapts well with various proteins or added spices for a different twist.
