Add rice, chicken broth, and canned tomatoes with juices into a large skillet then turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil.

Add chicken (raw), black beans, sweet corn, and taco seasoning then bring mixture back to a simmer, place a lid on top, and then turn down to low.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender, giving the mixture a stir about halfway through.

Once rice is tender, remove skillet from heat then stir in half the cheese.

Top with remaining cheese then place the lid back on top and let sit for 5 minutes.
