Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (about 400g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Let this sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Sauté the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Let the chicken rest: Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
  5. Prepare the rice base: Place warm rice as the base in each bowl.
  6. Slice the chicken: Slice the rested chicken into strips for serving.
  7. Assemble the ingredients: Arrange the sliced chicken over the warm rice in each bowl.
  8. Add fresh toppings: Top the chicken-rice mix with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, and red onion.
  9. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and optional Greek yogurt or sour cream and chili flakes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently, adding avocado fresh before serving.
