Preparation Steps
- 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 – should 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 – drizzle around plate for impact. Try brown rice – adds more fibre. Quinoa works too – for a different base. Make components ahead – store separately, assemble fresh.
