Preparation Steps
  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then cook in chicken broth for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  6. In a bowl, gently combine diced avocados, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and olive oil.
  7. On a plate, layer a bed of fluffy jasmine rice, followed by the grilled chicken, and top with the avocado mix.
  8. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
