Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 limes, juiced
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups cooked white rice
– 2 avocados, sliced
Instructions
1. 1. In a shallow dish, combine the honey, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat them evenly. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
2. 2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. 3. Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
4. 4. While the chicken is baking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
5. 5. To assemble the dish, place a layer of rice in the bottom of a serving bowl or plate. Top with a chicken breast and sliced avocado.
6. 6. Drizzle any remaining honey lime sauce over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
– For a creamier texture, you can mash the avocado instead of slicing it.
– Try topping the dish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
– Store any leftover chicken and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
