Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup hone y
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 2 cups cooked white long-grain rice
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 large ripe avocados, diced

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the marinade and toss to coat; allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until the sauce is caramelized and the meat is cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice with the chopped cilantro and 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice.
  5. In a third bowl, gently toss the diced avocado with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  6. Place a 3-inch circular ring mold in the center of a serving plate.
  7. Press 1/2 cup of the cilantro lime rice into the bottom of the mold to form a solid base.
  8. Layer 1/4 of the avocado mixture over the rice, pressing down gently with a spoon.
  9. Top the avocado layer with 1/4 of the cooked honey lime chicken.
  10. Carefully lift the mold upward to reveal the stack; repeat the process for the remaining three servings.
