Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime (for avocado roses)
- 1 cup shallots, thinly sliced
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 1/2 cup)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Add chicken breasts, coat well, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add rice and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- While rice cooks, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry sliced shallots in batches until golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes). Drain on paper towels and season lightly with salt.
- Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken breasts in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice against the grain.
- To make avocado roses, halve and pit the avocados. Thinly slice each half lengthwise, keeping slices together. Gently fan out the slices and roll into a rose shape. Squeeze a little lime juice over to prevent browning.
- To assemble the stack: Place a generous portion of rice on each plate. Layer with sliced honey lime chicken. Top with avocado roses and a sprinkling of crispy shallots. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
