- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Rice Stack
- 1 piece avocado, diced
- 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions
Marination
- In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
- Grill or sauté the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it rest and then slice.
Preparing the Rice and Avocado
- In a bowl, combine cooked rice and diced avocado.
Assembly
- To assemble the stack, layer rice, followed by sliced chicken, and top with more avocado.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
Notes
If you're short on time, marinate the chicken for only 15 minutes. For extra flavor, add spices like cumin or chili powder to the chicken marinade. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but be aware that the avocado may brown.
