Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken breast Boneless, skinless, diced
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 3 tbsp Lime juice Freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice Dry
  • 1.5 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 whole Avocado Large, ripe, mashed
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt Divided
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, half the salt, and black pepper.
  • Toss the diced chicken breast in the marinade. Let sit for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (discarding excess marinade) and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  • Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Gently fold in the mashed avocado, chopped cilantro, and remaining salt until the rice is creamy and green.
  • Divide the avocado rice into bowls and top with the cooked honey lime chicken. Serve immediately.
