A refreshing dish that combines grilled honey lime chicken with a creamy avocado rice base, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup rice (uncooked)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Once fluffy, set aside to cool.
- Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
