Method
In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, 2-3 minutes per side, continue cooking flipping every 2-3 minutes to prevent burning, until cooked through and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5-6 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Slice the chicken.
Meanwhile, make the Cilantro Ranch. In the base of a food processor or blender, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
To serve, divide the cilantro lime rice between 6 bowls. Top with the chicken, red cabbage, and avocado. Drizzle with cilantro ranch and garnish with fresh cilantro.
