Directions

Step 5 -In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
Step 6 -Add the marinated chicken halves to the heated oil and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and are golden-brown, about 4-6 minutes per side.
Step 7 -Transfer the cooked chicken halves to a clean plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 8 -In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
Step 9 -Add the poblano chiles, the jalapeños, and the onions to the heated oil and cook until they are tender.
Step 10 -Sprinkle the chile mixture with the remaining salt, the remaining cumin, the remaining coriander, and the remaining black pepper and stir to combine.
Step 11 -Add the corn and the garlic to the chile mixture and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 12 -Add the remaining oil to the chile mixture and stir to combine.
Step 13 -Add the cooked rice to the chile mixture and cook, while stirring, until the rice is heated through, about 3 minutes.
Step 14 -Transfer the skillet from the heat.
Step 15 -Scoop about 1 cup of the rice mixture into four bowls and top each with 1 of the cooked chicken halves. Cut the meat into cubes, if desired.
Step 16 -Serve the chicken-rice bowls with your favorite toppings.
