1 & 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, diced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons ground cumin

In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the cumin, smoked paprika (if using), and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and serve with the rice, sauce, and fixings of your choice.
