# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
02 -
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked through and no pink remains. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
03 -
Combine cooked rice, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Stir thoroughly to blend flavors.
04 -
Toss avocado slices gently with lime juice, salt, and pepper to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
05 -
Arrange a layer of cilantro lime rice on a plate, top with sliced grilled chicken, then layer avocado slices. Drizzle any remaining honey-lime marinade over the top and serve immediately.

Allowing the chicken to rest after cooking helps retain juices and ensures tender slices.
