Directions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until softened. Add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin and paprika and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in rinsed rice and cook for about 2 minutes to lightly toast, making sure it is completely coated with spices.
4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
5. Add the diced tomatoes and corn and continue cooking until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes more.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco on top, and cover the pan. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.
