Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 limes (juiced)

- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup rice (uncooked)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions

- Cook the rice and let it cool a bit.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken until cooked through, then let it rest and slice.

Notes
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for more flavor. Use slightly cooled rice so the avocado does not get mushy.
