Ingredients
  

Main Components
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/2 cup Honey Liquid pure honey
  • 1/3 cup Lime Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp Lime Zest Grated finely
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Freshly cracked flecks
  • 1.5 cups White Rice Long-grain
  • 3 Avocados Ripe, mashed

Equipment

  • 1 Stainless Steel Skillet Used for searing the chicken to get a golden crust.
  • 1 3-inch Food Mold Essential for creating the circular vertical stack.

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Cook the white rice with water until fluffy; fold in cilantro and lime juice while warm.
  2. Mash avocados with lime and salt until creamy but firm enough to hold the stack's weight.
Cook Chicken
  1. High-heat sear chicken chunks in oil until golden-brown and juicy.
  2. Add honey and lime juice to the pan, simmering until a glossy, translucent glaze forms around the chicken.

Notes

Wipe the plate edges before serving for a clean look.
Ensure chicken is patted dry before searing for maximum caramelization.
