Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts into a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it in chicken broth according to package instructions.
  4. Heat your grill to medium-high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each side for 6–7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently combine diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and olive oil.
  6. Begin layering by spooning the fluffy rice onto plates, followed by sliced grilled chicken and a scoop of the avocado mixture.
  7. Complete the dish with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over your stack.
