Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooking for about 5-6 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until peppers are tender.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, followed by adding the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly and simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Return the seared chicken to the pot and pour in 4 cups of chicken broth along with the uncooked white rice. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and chicken is tender.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return shredded chicken back into the soup.
- Stir in 1 cup of corn and the can of black beans, allowing them to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each serving with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

Notes
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent rice from becoming too soft.
