Prepare the Rice
While the chicken is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
