  8. Add the cilantro, stir, and cook for a minute more
  9. Add the canned tomatoes with their juice and the chicken stock, cumin, chili powder, and bay leaves and bring to a boil
  10. Reduce heat to a simmer, add the corn, whole chicken breasts, and cayenne
  11. Simmer the chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked throughout
  12. Remove the chicken breasts and put aside to cool
  13. Turn off the soup.
  14. Once the chicken breasts are cool, shred them with your hands and return to the pot
