Honey Lime Chicken & Pineapple Rice Stack
Ingredients
Honey Lime Chicken
500 g (1.1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
Zest and juice of 2 limes
3 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pineapple Rice
1½ cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Salt, to taste
Optional Toppings
Crumbled feta or fresh cheese
Toasted cashews or walnuts
Extra lime wedges
Directions
In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
In a separate pan, melt butter (or heat olive oil). Add diced pineapple and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly caramelized.
Stir in cooked rice, season with salt, and cook until warmed through. Fold in chopped cilantro.
To assemble, spoon pineapple rice into bowls or stack using a ring mold.
Top with honey lime chicken and drizzle with any remaining pan sauce.
Finish with optional cheese, nuts, and extra lime juice if desired.
