Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a medium pot, combine jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover, simmering until rice is cooked, about 15 minutes.

- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in diced avocado, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
- To serve, stack rice on the bottom, layered with chicken, topped with more avocado and cilantro, and garnish with lime wedges.

For added zesty kick, consider including diced jalapeños in the avocado mix.
