Preparation Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 71°C/165°F).
- During the last 2 minutes, brush the honey lime glaze over the chicken, letting it caramelize. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- In a bowl, combine cooked rice with coriander and lime juice. Season with salt and mix well.
- Slice the avocados and gently toss with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble: Place a ring mould or large cookie cutter on a serving plate. Press rice mixture into the bottom as the base layer.
- Layer sliced avocado over the rice, slightly overlapping the slices.
- Top with sliced honey lime chicken, arranging attractively.
- Carefully remove the mould. Drizzle any remaining glaze around the plate.
- Repeat for additional servings. Serve immediately!
Notes
Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking. Use a thermometer – chicken should reach 71°C/165°F. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Choose ripe avocados that yield gently to pressure. Use a ring mould – a tuna tin with ends removed works brilliantly. Assemble fresh just before serving for best presentation. Save extra glaze to drizzle around the plate for impact. Try brown rice for added fiber. Quinoa works too for a different base. Make components ahead and store separately, assemble fresh.
