Description
A delightful fusion of sweet and tangy flavors with tender chicken and creamy avocado over fluffy jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
- 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
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined. Add chicken strips, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer, cooking for 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized. Keep warm.
- Prepare the rice stacks: Pack cooked jasmine rice into a ramekin, invert onto a plate to create a neat stack.
- Assemble the dish: Layer avocado slices over the rice stack then pile warm honey-lime chicken on top. Drizzle pan juices over chicken.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with cilantro or chives, sesame seeds, and serve with a lime wedge.
Notes
For best results, use ripe avocados. Marinating the chicken for longer enhances flavor.
