Marinate the Chicken
  1. Coat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with the prepared marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare the Avocado Mix
  1. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, chopped red onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Mash slightly for creaminess.
Assemble the Stack
  1. Layer fluffy jasmine rice on a serving plate, top with grilled chicken slices, and spoon the creamy avocado mixture on top.
Serve and Garnish
  1. Serve with lime wedges on the side and garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
