Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chorizo and Onions

    In a skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, grill the sliced onion until translucent.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, serve the grilled chicken topped with chorizo and grilled onions. Add a side of rice, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and avocado.
