Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
For the rice and layers
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice warm
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • ring mold or can

Method
 

  1. Prepare jasmine rice according to package directions and keep warm, then gently mix in lime zest for added flavor.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the cubed chicken in a single layer.
  3. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and nearly cooked through.
  4. Add honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic to the skillet and stir well.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing from heat.
  7. Lightly grease a ring mold or a clean can and place it on a serving plate.
  8. Spoon a layer of warm rice into the mold and press gently to form a base.
  9. Add a layer of glazed chicken over the rice, followed by sliced avocado.
  10. Carefully lift the mold to reveal the stacked layers.
  11. Garnish with diced red onion and chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

For clean layers, press each layer gently but firmly into the mold before adding the next. Always cook chicken to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
