Ingredients
- 4 to 5 cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or 1 rotisserie chicken,

- 1 cup uncooked long or medium grain rice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

Preparation
COMBINE broth, enchilada sauce, evaporated milk, carrots, rice and cumin in large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture begins to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Add chicken and corn; stir well.
