Ingredients
  

For the marinade
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the stack
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • for garnish fresh cilantro
  • for serving lime wedges

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill or oven; for grilling, preheat to medium-high heat, or for baking, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Assembly
  1. Stack slices of chicken with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on a plate.
  2. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer if possible for intensified flavors. Customize toppings with your favorite vegetables. Feel free to add spice for heat.
