Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

For the Rice:

• 2 cups white or jasmine rice
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Stack:

• 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Extra lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, coating them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
2. Cook the Rice: In a pot, combine the rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Assemble the Stack: On a plate, begin with a layer of rice. Add slices of avocado on top of the rice, then stack the grilled chicken slices over the avocado. Garnish with fresh cilantro and drizzle any extra lime juice or honey over the top if desired.
5. Serve: Serve the stack with extra lime wedges for added freshness. Enjoy!
