Description
A vibrant fusion dish with citrus-marinated grilled chicken placed on top of savory jasmine rice and topped with a refreshing avocado salsa. The honey-cumin marinade balances the tart lime and creamy textures for a healthful, high-protein meal.
Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1⁄4 cup honey
2 limes
1.5 cups chicken broth
1.25 cups jasmine rice
1 medium avocado
2 tablespoons red onion (finely diced)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
Marinate chicken breasts in a mix of ground cumin, minced garlic, and lime juice for 45 minutes
Cook jasmine rice using 1.5 cups chicken broth for enhanced flavor
Grill marinated chicken over medium-high heat until seared and cooked through
Prepare avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, lime zest, red onion, cilantro, and remaining lime juice
Layer cooked rice, grilled chicken, and avocado salsa in vertical columns for stacking
Notes
Chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness
Agave nectar works as a vegan-friendly substitute for honey
Use a non-stick grilling brush to avoid sticking
Serve immediately to preserve the rice’s texture
