1/4 cup raw honey
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 ripe avocados (diced)
1 cup jasmine rice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk lime juice, honey, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water. In a pot, combine rice with water (follow package instructions). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender.
Sear the chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and sear each side for about 6-7 minutes or until cooked through.
Prepare avocado mix: In a bowl, toss diced avocados with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Assemble: On serving plates, layer rice followed by sliced chicken; spoon avocado mix over everything.
