Instructions

Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, zest, honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl and pour marinade over them. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Cook Chicken: Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice or dice.
Prepare Avocado Mix: Toss diced avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice, chopped cilantro, and red onion. Set aside.
Assemble the Stack: Layer cooked rice in bowls or ramekins, top with sliced chicken, then spoon over the avocado mixture.
Serve: Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired. Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges.
