A vibrant and nutritious Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Brown Rice Power Stack combining tender, honey-lime marinated chicken with wholesome brown rice, fresh avocado, and colorful vegetables for a satisfying, protein-packed meal perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Brown Rice Stack:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Optional Garnishes:

  • Lime wedges
  • Extra chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken slices in the mixture thoroughly and let them marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken slices and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through, ensuring juicy and flavorful pieces.
  3. Assemble the Stack: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly into serving bowls. Layer the cooked chicken, followed by diced avocado, shredded carrots, and halved cherry tomatoes over the rice base.
  4. Finish & Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the assembled stack. Drizzle with any remaining honey lime sauce from the chicken marinade for extra zest. Serve immediately with lime wedges and optional additional chili flakes on the side.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the chili flakes to taste or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use day-old brown rice for better texture; freshly cooked rice can be too soft.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure all sauces and honey are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and are great for next-day lunches.
  • Optional toppings like sliced jalapeños or a dollop of Greek yogurt can add extra flavor.
