Use a fork to fluff the rice, then add in the lime juice and cilantro.
Mix well, and cover while you work on the rest of the recipe.
How to Make the Chicken:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
Cook
Add the corn and cook 10 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
