  • Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, then pour the chicken broth over everything. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  • After cooking, carefully remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir in the corn and let it warm through for another 10 minutes before serving.
