Ingredients
  

For the Honey Lime Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Avocado Rice:

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 lime, juiced

Salt, to taste

For Assembly:

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup corn (fresh or canned)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Extra cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper.

      - Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.

        Prepare the Avocado Rice:

          - In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently mix to incorporate the ingredients without mashing the avocado.

            Cook the Chicken:

              - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it in the skillet.

                - Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

                  Assemble the Stack:

                    - On a plate, create stacks by placing a layer of avocado rice at the bottom, followed by sliced honey lime chicken, and then topping with cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion. Repeat the layering for a delightful visual effect.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        - Garnish each stack with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, tasty creation!
