# Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and a little salt and pepper. Dunk the chicken in this mixture and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
02 -
Grab a grill or skillet, heat it to about medium-high. Cook the chicken 6–7 minutes per side, until it’s completely done and no pink remains in the center. Take it off the heat and let it hang out for a bit before slicing.
03 -
Stir together cooked rice, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and chopped cilantro in a bowl until it’s all blended.
04 -
In another bowl, gently mix avocado slices with lime juice, salt, and pepper. This keeps them looking fresh.

Using a plate, layer the cilantro rice at the bottom, followed by sliced chicken, then top it with the avocado. Spoon any extra marinade over the stack if you’d like.

Dig in immediately and enjoy your colorful, flavorful stack of chicken, rice, and avocado!
