Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.
Preparing the Rice

In a pot of boiling water, add salt and rice. Bring it back to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, which usually takes about 15-18 minutes. Once cooked, uncover the pot and fluff the rice with a fork. Then, add lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and additional salt to taste, mixing everything together.
Assembling the Bowl
