Honey Lime Chicken & Avocado Rice Bowl – Viral High Protein Meal for Healthy Food Lovers

Ingredients 🧺

For the Honey Lime Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
2 tbsp honey
Juice and zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Rice Bowl:

2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Optional Toppings:

Fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges
Greek yogurt or light sour cream

Step-by-Step Directions 🥄

In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the diced chicken to the marinade and toss until well coated. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked.
Allow the sauce to slightly caramelize, coating the chicken in a glossy honey-lime glaze. 🍯
While the chicken cooks, prepare your rice if not already done and fluff it with a fork.
Assemble the bowls by dividing rice evenly between serving bowls.
Top with honey lime chicken, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
