Instructions

Prepare all ingredients: chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, dice the onion, slice the bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell peppers until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add chicken to the skillet along with taco seasoning. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
Stir in the rice and chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low for approximately 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
