Stir together salt, chili powder, pepper, oregano, garlic powder and cumin in small bowl. Season chicken on both sides with about half of the spice mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Pour in 1 tablespoon oil, peppers and onion. Cook until vegetables are lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and chicken to skillet. Cook until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate.
Add rice, undrained tomatoes, chicken stock and any remaining spice mixture to skillet and stir to combine. Place chicken on top of rice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through (180°F).
Pour peppers and onions back into skillet and continue heating until hot, about 3 minutes. Serve with chopped cilantro, lime wedges and sour cream, if desired.
