Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic in a bowl for a glaze.
Heat a skillet with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown, brushing glaze in the last 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked rice with chopped coriander and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice avocados and toss gently with lime juice, salt, and pepper to prevent browning.
Assemble the dish using a ring mold: layer rice, avocado slices, and glazed chicken. Drizzle any leftover glaze around the plate.
