In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice with the mashed avocado, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
To assemble, place the creamy avocado rice at the bottom of a plate or bowl. Stack the sliced honey lime chicken on top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra crunch, you can add vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, or corn.

If you prefer some heat, try adding chili flakes or chopped jalapeño to the marinade or the avocado rice.

Brown rice can be used for added fiber and nutrients, but it will take longer to cook.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

If reheating, add a splash of water or lime juice to restore the creamy texture of the rice.

The avocado rice is not suitable for freezing as it can become mushy once thawed.
