Ingredients

Scale

Honey Lime Chicken

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Bowl Base

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, brown rice, or quinoa
  • Salt, to taste

Avocado Layer

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Lemon Yogurt Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley
  • Chili flakes
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the cubed chicken in this mixture until well coated, allowing the flavors to infuse.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is caramelized on the outside and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the rice base: Season the cooked jasmine rice (or preferred grain) lightly with salt and keep it warm, ready for assembling the bowls.
  4. Make the lemon yogurt drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Prepare avocado: Slice the ripe avocado and toss gently with lime juice and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Spoon the warm rice into bowls, top with the honey lime chicken and avocado slices. Drizzle generously with the lemon yogurt sauce.
  7. Garnish and serve: Add optional garnishes such as fresh cilantro or parsley, chili flakes, and lime wedges. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced and delicious bowl.

Notes

  • Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier alternative.
  • Adjust honey and lime juice to taste for sweeter or more tangy flavor.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a spicier kick, add chili flakes directly to the chicken marinade.
  • This recipe serves 2 but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
  • Leftover components can be stored separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
