- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice, taco seasoning, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and corn. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Once the rice is tender, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
