In a medium saucepan over medium heat on the stove, bring the rice, broth, and salt to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep covered for 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Keep a lid on the rice until ready to use.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).

Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken, smooth (skin) side down first, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until the meat is firm to the touch and opaque all the way to the center, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut into bite-sized chunks.
