Steps:
- Fill a 6- to 8-quart pot halfway with water.
- Wash and rinse chicken thighs and breasts thoroughly and place into the pot with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Shred chicken in the pot with 2 forks so it can absorb some of the moisture. Simmer until stock has reduced, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and cook until sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.
