Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup jasmine rice

1 3/4 cups water or chicken broth

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coating them well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. Add jasmine rice, lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

      Prepare Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Gently mix to combine.

        Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

          Assemble the Stack: In a serving glass or mold, layer the ingredients starting with a scoop of rice, followed by a layer of avocado mixture, sliced chicken, and repeat until you fill the glass. You can create as many layers as you wish.

            Garnish and Serve: Top the stack with a lime wedge for garnish. Serve immediately for a vibrant and lively presentation!
