Cover the skillet with the rice and chicken with the above ingredients, bring to boil then reduce heat to low simmer for 20-25 minutes.

There are so many variations. maybe as many as there is cooks! Mine follows what the better Mexican restaurants is SoCal were making when I learned to make it. Mine comes out more as a soup or stew. Some,it seems the Spanish ones, are more of a dry meal of chicken and rice. None are right or wrong just different. That is part of what sharing these recipes is so much fun. Thanks for sharing yours!
