Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Assemble the stack by layering slices of grilled chicken atop cooked rice and topping with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Marinate overnight for best flavor. Use fresh lime juice for optimal taste.
