Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups cauliflower rice
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 avocado
  • Salt pepper
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the fresh lime juice, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture looks smooth and slightly glossy. This step is important because it ensures the flavors are evenly combined before coating the chicken.
  • Place the chicken breasts into the bowl and turn them several times to coat them completely in the marinade. Use your hands or tongs to gently massage the marinade into the chicken so it absorbs more flavor. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 20–30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).
  • Heat a non-stick or heavy-bottom pan over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Once the pan is warm, place the marinated chicken in the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about 5–6 minutes on one side until it develops a golden, slightly caramelized surface.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for another 5–6 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through. Avoid pressing the chicken down, as this can release juices and make it dry. Once done, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing—this keeps it juicy and tender.
  • While the chicken is resting, place another pan on medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook it for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy. Keep an eye on the texture—you want it light and slightly fluffy.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and gently stir to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice becomes creamy. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Slice the rested chicken into even strips. This helps with presentation and ensures every bite has a good balance of flavors.
  • To assemble, spoon the creamy cauliflower rice into a serving bowl, then neatly arrange the sliced chicken on top. Add fresh avocado slices on the side for a creamy, cooling contrast.
  • Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped cilantro over the bowl. Serve immediately while everything is warm and fresh for the best flavor and texture.
