Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (about 400g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the marinade by combining honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  2. Marinate the chicken by adding the breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  5. Prepare bowls with warm cooked rice as the base.
  6. Assemble the bowl by arranging the sliced chicken over the rice.
  7. Add the sliced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, and sliced red onion.
  8. Finish by sprinkling fresh cilantro and adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, along with chili flakes if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For incredibly tender chicken, pound the chicken breasts before marinating. You can also marinate the chicken overnight for enhanced flavors.
