Scale
For the Honey Lime Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)
- 2 Tbsp golden honey
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp fresh lime zest
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
For the Avocado Rice Stacks
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1-2 ripe avocados, sliced
- fresh lime wedges (for garnish)
- 2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro or chives
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken in a single layer 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Keep warm.
- Mold the rice: Pack cooked jasmine rice tightly into a ramekin/bowl or measuring cup. Invert onto a plate to unmold a neat cylinder. Top with sliced avocado.
- Assemble & serve: Pile warm honey-lime chicken over avocado. Drizzle any pan juices on top. Garnish with cilantro or chives, sesame seeds (optional), and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Notes
Pro tip: For extra gloss, whisk 1 tsp cornstarch into 2 Tbsp water and simmer in the skillet with leftover marinade for 1 minute. Spoon the glaze over the stacks.
