Ingredients
  

For the chicken marinade
  • 2 breasts chicken breasts Fresh chicken breasts with minimal preservatives for the best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Use extra virgin for better flavor.
  • 2 tbsp honey Local raw honey is recommended for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 tbsp lime juice Freshly squeezed lime juice for best results.
  • 1 tsp paprika For a slight smokiness.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Or substitute with fresh garlic.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust to taste.
For the bowl assembly
  • 1 cup cooked white rice Fluff the rice with a fork for light texture.
  • 8 pieces baby potatoes Toss with olive oil and season before roasting.
  • 1 bunch asparagus Tender-crisp cooking is ideal.
  • 1 piece avocado Sliced for topping.
  • 2 pieces limes Sliced for garnish.
  • 1 tbsp parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together honey, lime juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts well and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes on each side, achieving a caramelized color and an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast for 25 minutes until tender and golden.
  3. Steam or roast the asparagus for about 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
Assembly
  1. In a bowl, start with a bed of cooked rice. Layer the sliced chicken, sliced avocado, roasted potatoes, asparagus, and fresh lime slices on top.
  2. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving to add freshness and color.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for up to two hours for better flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. For best results when reheating, use a skillet over low heat.
