Coat chicken in oil and season with half taco seasoning, lime zest and salt. Heat a pot or deep sided pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken and brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan.
To the same pan that you browned the chicken. Add onions and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add capsicum and taco seasoning, cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add rice, beans, sweetcorn, chicken stock and 11⁄2 cups water. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Add chicken back to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low.
