Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil, add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Preheat your grill. Remove the chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
  4. Combine diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Gently toss until combined.
  5. To assemble, start with a layer of rice on a plate. Slice grilled chicken and arrange on top of rice, spoon avocado mixture over chicken, and serve with lime wedges.
