Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the boneless skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic until well combined.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken breasts, cooking for 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. While the chicken cooks, mix the cooked rice in a bowl with freshly chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and gently toss the avocado slices with additional lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Using a ring mold, layer a portion of the lime-cilantro rice as the base, follow with the seasoned avocado slices, and top with sliced honey lime chicken.
