Honey Lime Chicken:

Juice and zest of 2 limes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

1 cup corn (grilled or canned)
2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Juice of ½ lime
Salt to taste
Avocados & Garnish:
3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

Marinate & Cook Chicken:
In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add diced chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Make Corn Salsa:
In a small bowl, mix corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss to combine.
Assemble Stuffed Avocados:
Scoop out a bit of avocado flesh from each half to create space for filling. Dice and mix the scooped avocado with a little lime juice to prevent browning, then mix into the chicken (optional).
Fill & Garnish:
Spoon the honey lime chicken into each avocado half. Top with corn salsa. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
Grilled corn adds a smoky flavor—highly recommended.
Serve immediately for best texture.
