Description
A high-protein, healthy dinner that combines sweet and tangy flavors with fresh ingredients in a one-bowl meal.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 400g)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- Assemble the bowls by adding warm rice as the base.
- Arrange the sliced chicken over the rice.
- Add slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion on top.
- Finish with fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and chili flakes if using.
- Serve immediately while everything is warm.
Notes
Allowing chicken to rest after cooking helps retain moisture. Slice against the grain for tenderness.
