A vibrant and nutritious Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Brown Rice Power Stack combining tender marinated chicken with wholesome brown rice, creamy avocado, and fresh vegetables, perfect for a flavorful and healthful meal.

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 chicken slices in the mixture and let sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken slices for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  3. Assemble the Stack: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly into serving bowls. Layer with the cooked chicken, diced avocado, shredded carrots, and halved cherry tomatoes for a colorful, nutritious stack.
  4. Finish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top. Drizzle any remaining honey lime sauce over the stack and serve with lime wedges and extra chili flakes if desired for added zest and spice.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use cooked brown rice that is still warm for better layering and flavor fusion.
  • Avocado should be ripe but firm to hold shape when diced.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature, making it great for meal prep.
  • Substitute chicken breasts with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
