Remove chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In a saucepan, combine rice, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and black beans.

In the same pan, add corn and jalapeño; sauté for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Combine the rice mixture with the sautéed corn and jalapeño; mix well.

Serve the sliced chicken over the cilantro lime rice, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges.
