INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Combine water, bouillon, 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.

Step 2

Spoon into serving bowls; top each serving with tortilla chips, cilantro leaves and green onions, if desired.

TIPS:

• Different brands of enchilada sauce may have different heat levels. A hotter enchilada sauce can be used if a spicier stew is desired. • Freeze half the stew for another meal. Thaw in refrigerator and reheat in microwave or on stovetop.
