  1. Make Marinade: Whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. This takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Transfer chicken to a resealable bag, pour the marinade over, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  3. Prepare Rice: Rinse jasmine rice until clear. Boil chicken broth, add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
  4. Grill Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Make Avocado Mix: Combine diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and olive oil in a bowl. Toss gently until well mixed.
  6. Assemble Stack: Layer cooked rice, add grilled chicken slices, then top with avocado mixture to create the stack.
  7. Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and additional chopped cilantro before serving.
