Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by cooking the white rice according to the package directions, typically requiring about 15-20 minutes. Rinse the rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch, which will ensure a fluffy texture. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and keep it warm.
- Pound the boneless chicken breasts to an even thickness of 3/4 inch using a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and soy sauce until well combined. Set the glaze aside for later use.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the prepared honey-lime glaze and reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating each piece generously. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes to thicken.
- While the chicken simmers, slice the ripe avocados and dice the red onion finely. Chop a handful of fresh cilantro or parsley.
- To assemble, pack the fluffy rice into shallow bowls as a base. Layer slices of avocado on top, followed by the glazed chicken. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with diced red onion and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for consistent cooking. Use fresh herbs for best flavor.
