Ingredients

Scale

For the Honey Lime Chicken

  • ½ lb (225 g) chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Brown Rice

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil

For the Guacamole

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp diced red onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken slices in this marinade and let them sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Prepare the Brown Rice: Warm the cooked brown rice and season it with olive oil and salt. Use a small round mold or bowl to shape the rice into a compact layer on serving plates for stacking.
  3. Prepare the Guacamole: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado and mix in lime juice, diced red onion, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and fold in optional chili flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
  4. Assemble the Stack: Place a layer of the shaped brown rice on each serving plate. Top with a generous layer of guacamole, then arrange the cooked honey lime chicken slices on top. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and lime wedges for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Use ripe avocado for creamy, smooth guacamole.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the guacamole.
  • Brown rice can be prepared ahead of time and warmed before assembling.
  • This dish is great served immediately but can be chilled for an hour for a more melded flavor combination.
