Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 unit lime, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Rice and Toppings
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 3/4 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion (optional)

Method
 

Marinating the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture and coat them well. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Cooking the Jasmine Rice
  1. While the chicken is marinating, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions using either water or chicken broth. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
Grilling the Chicken
  1. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and caramelized.
  2. Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Preparing the Rice Mixture
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the cooked jasmine rice with diced mango, chopped cilantro, and red onion if using. Season lightly with salt.
Assembling the Dish
  1. Layer a scoop of mango jasmine rice on a plate, then top it with slices of honey lime chicken. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a heartier side, add black beans or corn to the rice mixture. Can be served casually or in individual portions for more elegance.
