  4. Cook chicken: Add marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until fully cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Add tomatoes: Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Combine: Fold in the cooked rice until evenly mixed.
  7. Final touches: Stir in fresh cilantro, soy sauce, and lime juice; adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve hot with optional garnishes like sliced avocado or extra cilantro.
