Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Let them sit to absorb the flavor.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Brush with glaze in the last two minutes.
  4. Combine rice with fresh coriander, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.
  5. Toss avocado slices with lime juice, salt, and pepper to prevent browning.
  6. Layer rice, avocado, and chicken in a ring mold on a plate. Remove mold and drizzle with remaining glaze.
