Cook the Rice

Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.

In a saucepan, combine rice, water (or broth), and salt.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes (or according to package instructions).

Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro and lime zest.

Marinate and Cook the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Add diced chicken and toss well. Marinate for at least 15–20 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and fully cooked.

Make the Whipped Garlic Feta

In a food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper.

Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed for a silky texture.

Assemble the Rice Stack

Using a small bowl or food ring mold, press a layer of rice onto the plate to form the base.

Top with a generous layer of honey lime chicken.

Spoon or pipe whipped garlic feta over the top.

Garnish with avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
