Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, lightly brushing it with olive oil.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the hot grill, cooking for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Assemble the dish by placing slices of the grilled chicken atop cooked rice.
  8. Top with freshly sliced avocado and chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
