Saucy Chicken and Rice with chunky tomatoes

Saucy Chicken and Rice with chunky tomatoes:
1 1/2 to 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green or red bell pepper (I used red because that is what I had)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 TBS vegetable oil
28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 cups Minute Rice, uncooked
1 cup cheddar or Monterey jack shredded cheese
Sauté onion and bell pepper in the oil until tender (about 5 minutes) over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until chicken is no longer pink. DO NOT DRAIN!  Add can of tomatoes and stock or broth, bring to a boil uncovered. Sprinkle in garlic powder and cumin and stir until combined. Add Minute Rice and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Top with the shredded cheese (or whatever you like) and serve!
My apologies because my pictures aren't very good but here is what it looks like:
