Step 1
Stir together the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, honey, salt, and pepper to make the chili lime marinade. Add the chicken breast and marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1-2 hours.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Let the excess marinade drip off the chicken and add to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook and additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Grill: When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade. Let excess drip off. Grill for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Step 4
Assemble bowls with the cooked rice, chicken, and salsa. You can also add shredded lettuce, diced mango, black beans, corn, and queso fresco or cotija cheese.
