  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic. Add soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  5. In serving bowls, place cooked rice as the base and layer sliced chicken on top.
  6. Top with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion creatively.
  7. Garnish with cilantro and add Greek yogurt or sour cream along with chili flakes if desired. Serve warm.
