Description
A delightful dish featuring marinated chicken in a honey-lime sauce, served with creamy avocado and fluffy jasmine rice.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (for marinade)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime Zest
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 pieces Avocado (diced)
- 1 small Red Onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 pieces Lime Wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest before slicing it into strips.
- Layer the fluffy rice as the base in each serving bowl, followed by sliced grilled chicken. Top with diced avocado, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for at least an hour or overnight. Use fresh ingredients for best results.
