Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and chili flakes, to taste
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 34 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • Avocado, for serving
  • Yogurt or sour cream, for serving
  • Limes, for serving
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil for vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • Flaky salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
