Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Place the chicken breast into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil to coat the bottom. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Sear each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and allow it to rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare your rice; if using freshly cooked rice, keep it warm, or reheat gently if it's cold. Scoop a portion of rice into the bottom of each serving bowl.
  4. Lay the sliced chicken evenly over the warm rice, then artfully arrange avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, and red onion over the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over each bowl, and add Greek yogurt or sour cream on top if desired, finishing with chili flakes. Serve immediately.
