Toss the chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil and taco seasoning until well coated. Let it sit while you prep rice.

Rinse the long grain rice until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, heat to low, and for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam covered.

Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Stir in the lime juice, lime , and chopped fresh cilantro.

Mix the black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl with a pinch of salt to make a simple corn salsa.

Divide the cilantro-lime rice evenly into 4 meal prep containers. Top each with a portion of chicken and a portion of the corn salsa.
