Easy Taco Chicken and Rice Skillet image

This is easy to put together and big on flavor, adding in more corn won't hurt or add in some canned drained beans, if using skin-on chicken then cooking time must be increased before adding in the rice, for some heat add in a minced jalapeno pepper and/or crushed chili flakes
