Ingredients

Scale

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp honey (natural)
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (natural)
  • Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)

Chicken

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Rice and Avocado

  • 2 cups cooked basmati or jasmine rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey (natural), lime juice and zest (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), minced garlic (natural), and a pinch of red chili flakes to create a sweet, tangy, and savory marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the marinade and let them soak for at least 20 minutes to absorb deep flavors and achieve tender juiciness.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Prepare the Rice and Avocado: Ensure cooked rice is fluffy and ready. Dice the avocado just before assembling to maintain freshness and creaminess. Optionally, season the avocado with a squeeze of lime juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  5. Assemble the Stack: On a plate or using a food ring, layer a portion of rice, then slices of avocado, followed by sliced chicken breast. Repeat layers if desired for a taller stack. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for brightness.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes for best flavor and tenderness.
  • Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Use day-old or cooled cooked rice to prevent mushy stacking.
  • Dice avocado just before serving and add lime juice to keep it vibrant.
  • Use a round mold or food ring to assemble the stack neatly for a professional presentation.
