In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly in the marinade.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
-
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

Cook the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes per side or until golden and fully cooked.

Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Step 3: Prepare the Rice
-
In a large bowl, combine your cooked rice with lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.

Mix gently to coat the rice with the zesty flavors.
Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Layer
-
Mash or dice the avocado and drizzle with lime juice.
-
Season with a little salt and pepper to keep it fresh and flavorful.
Step 5: Assemble the Stack
-
Use a round mold or a small bowl to shape the stack.
-
Start with a base of lime-cilantro rice.
-
Add a layer of avocado on top.
-
Finish with slices of honey-lime chicken.
-
Carefully lift the mold to reveal a perfect layered stack.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
-
Drizzle lightly with honey or a squeeze of lime.
-
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or serve with lime wedges.
-
Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and juicy.
