Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over. Seal the bag and let it marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water. In a pot, bring chicken broth to a boil, add the rice, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  5. In a bowl, gently combine diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. Start with a layer of fluffy jasmine rice, then add the grilled chicken on top, followed by a spoonful of the avocado mix.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
