In a small pot, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and cover with a tight lid. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
While the rice cooks, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and the rest of the salt in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the pounded chicken breast.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a board to rest for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place on a plate. Slice the chicken and lay it over the rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
