• 600g (1.3 lb) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili powder in a bowl to create the marinade over medium heat until heated through, about 5 min.
2. Place chicken pieces in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Rinse rice under cold water until clear, then combine with chicken broth in a pot and bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 18 minutes until tender.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, cooking for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro and lime zest until ready to serve.
6. Assemble bowls by portioning the cilantro rice and topping with the honey-lime chicken until ready to serve.
