Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 tbsp clover honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice, dry
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large ripe avocados, sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  • Place cubed chicken into the marinade and stir to coat; let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken and all the marinade to the skillet. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and divide equally among four bowls.
  • Top each rice portion with the honey lime chicken and sliced avocado.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
