Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add Chicken Breast and half the Salt; cook until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2. Add Onion and Bell Pepper to the skillet over medium heat. Cook until starting to soften, about 4 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
Step 3. Stir in Cumin and White Rice; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add Salsa, Chicken Broth and the rest of the Salt, scraping the bottom of the skillet.
Step 4. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is nearly tender and some liquid remains, about 15 minutes.
Step 5. Stir in Black Beans and Corn, then return the chicken and its juices to the skillet. Cover and cook over low heat until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Scatter Cheddar Cheese over the skillet. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes; serve from the pan.
