Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until blended. Coat the chicken breasts in this vibrant marinade. Allow them to sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the rice: Prepare 1 cup of rice according to package instructions.
- Grill the chicken: Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Notes
Make-ahead tips: Marinate the chicken early in the day for enhanced flavor. Customize by incorporating other vegetables like corn or black beans.
