- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro **
- 2 bags rice as a side or to serve over

(I listed the onions optional, as we're trying to avoid onions, as it bothers our tummies.)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat.
- When oil is very hot, add onion(if you're using it) and garlic; saute until onion begins to brown (if not using it, just wait about a minute or so).
- Add cubed chicken and brown on all sides.
- Begin water in saucepan to boil for rice, add rice when boiling until finished.
- Add chopped jalapeño, seasonings, crushed tomatoes, broth and beans.
- Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes; add juice of one lime and stir in the corn kernels.
- Cook chicken chili, stirring occasionally, until rice is ready.
- Serve with sour cream, chopped red onion (optional) and chopped cilantro over or paired next to rice, topped with tortilla chips.
