A succulent grilled chicken breast marinated in honey, lime, and spices, served with rice and avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 23 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil the surface.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
  5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Assemble the Stack: Layer slices of the grilled chicken atop a bed of cooked rice. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Add cayenne pepper for extra spice.
