In a bowl, mix the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice, followed by the sliced chicken. Drizzle with the reduced marinade and sprinkle with cilantro.
