Description
A delightful and colorful dish combining tender chicken breasts marinated in honey-lime dressing over creamy coconut rice, topped with fresh mango and avocado.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated in the marinade, and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare jasmine rice by combining it with coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15–20 minutes until fluffy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook marinated chicken breasts for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, and cilantro, and gently toss to mix.
- Assemble stacks using a scoop of coconut rice as the base, topped with sliced chicken, and finish with the mango-avocado mix.
- Serve fresh and enjoy!
Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours or overnight. Use fresh ingredients for optimal taste.
