Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup honey, the juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Add your chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Rice: Cook 1 cup of brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken and rice are cooking, chop your bell peppers and rinse your corn if using canned. You can sauté the veggies in a bit of olive oil for added flavor, or serve them raw for crunch.
Assemble the Stack: Start with a base of rice on a plate. Layer on sliced chicken, followed by the chopped vegetables, and finally, the diced avocado. Drizzle with any remaining honey-lime marinade for extra flavor.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, nutritious stack!
