# How to Make It:
01 -
Whisk honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until fully combined.
02 -
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over, ensuring even coating. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for optimal flavor.
03 -
Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
04 -
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
05 -
Gently combine diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and olive oil in a bowl. Toss lightly to coat.
06 -
Layer cooked rice on serving plates, top with grilled chicken, and spoon avocado mixture over the chicken. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For maximum flavor, allow chicken to marinate for the full recommended duration. Use freshly squeezed lime juice and avoid overmixing the avocado mixture to maintain its texture.
