Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Stack:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Optional Garnishes:

  • Lime wedges
  • Extra chili flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss the thinly sliced chicken breasts in this mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken slices and cook until they turn golden and are cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, flipping as needed to cook evenly.
  3. Assemble the Stack: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly into serving bowls. Layer the cooked chicken on top, followed by diced avocado, shredded carrots, and diced red bell pepper to add freshness and texture.
  4. Finish: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the assembled stacks and drizzle any remaining honey lime sauce from the marinade on top for extra flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an additional citrusy kick and optional extra chili flakes for more heat.

Notes

  • Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra protein, add a fried or poached egg on top.
  • Use brown rice cooked ahead to save preparation time.
  • Substitute chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier texture if desired.
  • Leftover honey lime sauce can be used as a dressing or marinade for vegetables.
