  3. Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream. Gently fold until well incorporated.
  5. On each serving plate, create a base with the creamy avocado rice. Layer the sliced grilled chicken on top and drizzle fresh lime juice before serving.
