Place a deep skillet over medium low heat and coat the pan in olive oil
place chicken thighs in one layer in the pan
season chicken thighs by sprinkling cumin, paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder evenly over all pieces
allow the chicken to cook, turning once, so it is browned on each side
once chicken is brown, add the salsa to the pan. Cover and let simmer until chicken is cooked through (about 20 mins)
cook the rice by adding dry rice to a medium pot, adding 2 cups liquid (water or broth), bringing it to a boil and allowing to simmer covered until tender.
add lime juice and chopped cilantro to rice
serve chicken and rice together with any veggies you choose
