Prepare Aji Verde by blending together cilantro, jalapeño peppers, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese or Parmesan cheese, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, fine salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Season chicken breasts with olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and fine salt.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned chicken breasts until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

In a saucepan, combine the rice, water or chicken broth, and fine salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 18 minutes.

Once the rice is cooked, stir in butter or olive oil, chopped fresh cilantro, and lime juice.
