Directions
Cook rice according to package directions, using chicken broth instead of water; set aside. Stir cilantro gently into rice before serving.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, cumin and cayenne. Continue to cook on medium-high, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.
