Season boneless chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and adobo, ensuring it's well coated.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add olive oil once hot.

Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to cook the other side.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, deglaze the pan with beer.

Add rice to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

Pour in chicken stock and cover the skillet with aluminum foil.

Place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking.
