Steps:

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and cumin. Grill for 5 minutes each side. Let them rest while you make the rest of the soup.
Heat your dutch oven over high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, add onions, celery and garlic. Allow onions to brown slightly.
Add chicken stock, tomatoes, corn, black beans and rice. Bring to a gentle boil. Add cumin, coriander and cilantro. Cook until beans and rice are done, approximately 25 minutes.
Cut chicken breasts into one inch cubes and add to the soup. Allow another 10 to 15 minutes to continue to cook.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, some corn chips with guacamole -- for a complete dinner.
