Ingredients
Scale
Honey Lime Chicken
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp honey
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cauliflower Rice
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Toppings
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional: lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with honey, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated to infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, ensuring it remains juicy and tender.
- Prepare Cauliflower Rice: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender, seasoning with salt to taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice evenly among serving bowls. Top each with the honey lime chicken followed by slices of fresh avocado.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best citrus flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the chicken marinade.
- Cauliflower rice can be purchased pre-riced or made by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
