Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken into the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Boil chicken broth, then add rice and cover, cooking for about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine avocado, red onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Gently toss to keep avocado chunky.
  6. Layer jasmine rice on serving plates, then top with sliced grilled chicken, and spoon avocado mixture over the top.
  7. Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy your Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Stack!
