Honey Lime Chicken and Avocado Rice Bowls

Ingredients:

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

– 1 cup sushi rice

1/4 cup soy sauce

– 2 tablespoons honey

– 2 tablespoons lime juice

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 clove garlic, minced

– 1 ripe avocado, sliced

– 1 teaspoon sugar

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 1/4 cups water

– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice: Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rice with 1 1/4 cups of water. Cook according to the package instructions. Once done, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Fluff it all together with a fork for a light texture.

2. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken cubes into the marinade, making sure they are well-coated. Let them sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.

3. Cook the Chicken: Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, toss in the marinated chicken and cook until it’s browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

4. Assemble the Bowls: Grab your favorite bowls and divide the fluffy rice among them. Top with the deliciously cooked chicken and beautiful avocado slices for that creamy goodness.

5. Enjoy: Dig into this vibrant and satisfying meal that bursts with refreshing flavors!
