Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Season the boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a medium bowl, mix honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic to create a glaze. Marinate chicken.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, then cook marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes each side until golden and cooked through, brushing with glaze during the last 2 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  4. Combine cooked rice with chopped fresh coriander, add a splash of lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Halve avocados, remove pits, slice into wedges, and toss with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Layer the ingredients using a ring mold, starting with rice, then avocado, then chicken.
  7. Lift the mold to reveal the stack, drizzle remaining glaze around the plate, and serve.
