# Instructions:
01 -
Dig in right away so you get all those fresh flavors and fun textures at their best.
02 -
Start with a mound of cilantro-lime rice on each plate, then pile on the juicy chicken slices and finally add the avocado on top. Splash on any extra honey-lime mix you’ve got left.
03 -
Lay the sliced avocado in a bowl, sprinkle on the lime juice, hit it with salt and pepper, and gently toss it around so every piece gets coated and stays nice and green.
04 -
Toss your cooked rice, chopped cilantro, salt, and lime juice in a bowl together. Give it all a good mix.
05 -
Get your grill or skillet hot on medium-high. Sear the marinated chicken, flipping once, for about 6–7 minutes per side until it hits 75°C inside and looks white all the way through. Give it a break off the heat for a bit, then slice it.
06 -
Dump honey, lime juice, zest, chopped garlic, a bit of salt, and pepper into a bowl and mix them together. Toss the chicken in, make sure everything's covered. Cover it up and let it chill out for 15 minutes or more.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting that chicken rest after you grill it keeps it moist and makes slicing a breeze.
02 -
Lime juice helps the avocado stay that pretty green instead of turning brown.
