In a pressure cooker, heat the oil. Add garlic, onion and pepper. When the onion begins to turn translucent, add the chicken.

Stir all the ingredients until the chicken meat begins to turn white. Then add the cumin and then the corn wheels, the carrot and the tomato sauce.

When the cooking time is up, open the pot and check if the broth has the consistency you like. You can let it dry more by simmering and uncovered.
