Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Avocado Layer

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (natural)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Rice Layer

  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Extra fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Smoked paprika (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine lime juice (natural), olive oil, garlic powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 15 minutes. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips.
  2. Cook the Rice: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy but not sticky. Set aside and allow to cool slightly before assembling the stack.
  3. Prepare the Avocado Layer: In a small bowl, gently mash the avocado. Mix in lime juice (natural), a pinch of salt, and finely chopped fresh cilantro until well combined to create a creamy, flavorful mash.
  4. Assemble the Stack: On each serving plate, press a portion of cooked rice firmly to form a compact base layer. Evenly spread the avocado mash over the rice. Arrange the sliced chicken strips on top of the avocado layer. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and a wedge of lime for freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use a ring mold for perfectly shaped stacks.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking to retain juiciness.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice (natural) for best flavor.
  • Slightly under-ripe avocado will create a creamier mash that holds shape better.
  • Serve on warm plates to maintain ideal temperature longer.
