Cook brown rice according to its package directions. While the rice is cooking, place chicken breasts in a shallow dish; cover with lime juice, and lightly coat both sides with taco seasoning. Then place chicken on a hot grill and cook for approximately six minutes on each side. Let the chicken cool slightly, then cut it into strips and set aside.
