Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Whisk honey, lime juice, lime zest, and garlic to create a glaze. Marinate chicken for 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Brush with glaze in the last 2 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Mix cooked rice with cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Let rest.
  4. Prepare the Avocado: Slice avocados, drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat.

  6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the stack with remaining glaze and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
