Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan.
Step 2
Brown chicken, stirring occasionally, until opaque on the edges, about 4 minutes. Don't worry about full color.
Step 3
Add diced onion and cook 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in rice, coating it in oil, for 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in broth and tomatoes with their juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
Step 5
Simmer until rice is tender and liquid absorbs, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Stir in cilantro. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with sliced scallions.
