Easy Honey Lime Chicken with Avocado Rice Stacks is a fresh, vibrant dish featuring juicy honey-lime glazed chicken paired with creamy avocado and fluffy rice. It’s simple enough for weeknights yet elegant for entertaining.

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

2 Tbsp golden honey

2 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp fresh lime zest

1 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1–2 ripe avocados, sliced

Fresh lime wedges, for garnish

2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro or chives

1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken strips to the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook marinated chicken strips for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  5. Lightly grease a round mold or line a small ramekin with plastic wrap.
  6. Spoon a layer of rice into the mold, pressing gently to compact.
  7. Add avocado slices on top, then carefully lift the mold away to reveal a neat stack.
  8. Top with chicken strips.
  9. Garnish with cilantro or chives, sesame seeds if using, and lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep the dish gluten-free.

Brush avocado slices with lime juice to prevent browning.

Grill the chicken for a smoky variation.

Serve with mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.

Assemble stacks just before serving for the best presentation.
