I pair golden, seasoned chicken with a simple honey-lime glaze, fresh cucumber and avocado salad, white rice, and shredded lettuce. The warm chicken and rice balance the crisp vegetables, with lime adding a bright finish to every bite.

Directions
- Prepare the white rice according to the package directions and keep warm. Wash and shred the lettuce.
- Season the thinly sliced chicken breast with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
- Heat a little cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning as needed, until golden and cooked through to 165°F (74°C).
- Add the juice of 1 lime and 2 tablespoons honey to the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and toss the chicken as the sauce thickens enough to lightly coat it.
- In a bowl, gently toss the cucumber, avocado, red onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon honey, juice of 1 lime, salt, and black pepper until evenly dressed.
- Arrange the rice and shredded lettuce in serving bowls. Add the honey-lime chicken and cucumber-avocado salad, spoon any remaining pan glaze over the chicken, and serve fresh.
