🍽️ Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

1. In a bowl, whisk together: honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

2. Add sliced chicken and coat well.

3. Marinate 15–30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add chicken and cook 4–6 minutes until browned and cooked through.

3. Let rest 5 minutes, then chop if desired.

3. Prepare the Avocado Rice

1. Mash half the avocado and mix it into the warm rice.

2. Fold in remaining diced avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and salt.

4. Assemble the Stack

For a clean, restaurant-style stack, use a metal ring mold, or improvise with a cleaned tuna can with both ends removed:

1. Bottom layer: Pack ½–1 cup avocado rice.

2. Middle layer: Add corn and tomatoes.

3. Top layer: Spoon honey-lime chicken on top.

4. Lift the ring mold upward slowly.

5. Garnish with extra lime, cilantro, or sesame seeds.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

A: Yes! Thighs stay juicier and add more flavor. Just increase cooking time slightly.

Q2: How do I prevent the avocado from browning?

A: Use fresh lime juice and mix well into the rice. You can also cover the rice tightly with plastic wrap touching its surface if making ahead.

Q3: Can this be made ahead for meal prep?

A: Yes. Store chicken, rice, and toppings separately. Assemble when ready. Add fresh avocado right before serving.

Q4: What can I use instead of a ring mold?

A: A cleaned metal can with both ends removed, a ramekin (invert to release), or even a small bowl can work.

Q5: Is the dish spicy?

A: Only if you add chili flakes. It’s easy to keep mild.
