Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Lime Chicken Avocado
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Let rest.
  3. Prepare the Avocado Rice: Mash a ripe avocado in a mixing bowl, then stir in extra lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Fold in the warm cooked rice until well-combined and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Stack: Layer the creamy avocado rice in a mold, pressing down gently. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top. Finish with cilantro, lime zest, chili flakes, and sesame seeds.
  5. Serve: Drizzle additional lime juice over the stack before serving.
