Directions
Honey Ancho Chili Grilled Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the honey, garlic, cilantro, ancho chili seasoning, cumin, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil and whisk to combine. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat and marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat a grill to medium-high and make sure the grates are well cleaned. Grill chicken on each side for about 5-8 minutes or until cooked through. Place on a bed of cilantro rice and pour avocado crema over to serve.
Cilantro Rice
In a large pot set to medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic clove, rice and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté for a couple minutes or until rice is coated with the oil and just begins to toast. Add the water and the cilantro and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and immediately turn the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes.
Turn off the heat and leave covered for 5-10 minutes, then remove the lid, fluff with a fork, remove the garlic and add a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Avocado Crema
Simply place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
