Creating Salsa Verde Chicken & Rice Skillet can be accomplished in just a few straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
4. Cook Rice: In the same skillet, add the uncooked rice and toast it for 1-2 minutes. This will enhance the rice’s flavor.
5. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and salsa verde. Stir to combine.
6. Blend in Veggies: Add the corn and black beans to the mixture.
7. Simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it in the rice mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
8. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken again and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir everything together.
9. Final Seasoning: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
10. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

By following these clear steps, you’ll create a flavorful dish that tastes like it took much longer to prepare than it actually did!
