Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts (or thighs for a juicier option)

- 2 pieces Avocado (ripe but firm)
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Notes
Ripe avocados enhance flavor and creaminess. Adjust sweetness of the sauce by modifying honey quantity. Marinating chicken in honey lime mixture beforehand adds extra flavor.
