Instructions

1
In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, chili powder, No Salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for 15–30 minutes if you have time. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Add any remaining marinade to the pan during the final few minutes and let it cook until glossy and slightly thickened. Divide the cooked rice between serving bowls. Arrange the honey-lime chicken, avocado, corn, tomatoes, and red onion over the rice. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over everything. Serve warm and enjoy!
