📝 Instructions:
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. 🥄
2️⃣ Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours if you have time for extra flavor!). 🍗
3️⃣ While the chicken marinates, cook your rice according to package instructions. Fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly. Stir in chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of salt, and pepper. Set aside. 🍚
4️⃣ In a small bowl, toss the diced avocado with lime juice to keep it fresh and vibrant. Set aside. 🥑
5️⃣ Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips. 🔥
6️⃣ To assemble the stack: Start with a generous scoop of the cilantro rice, top with sliced chicken, and add a few spoonfuls of avocado. Repeat layers if you like to create a “stacked” look. Garnish with extra cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime, and any optional toppings you enjoy. 🌮
