Description
A vibrant honey lime chicken dish served with creamy avocado and fluffy rice, bursting with sweet and tangy flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place chicken breasts in the bowl and ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Plate your honey lime chicken alongside sliced avocado and fluffy cooked rice. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flair.
Notes
Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor and allows for a crispier texture if seared at a higher heat first.
