Prepare rice according to package, omitting butter. In a large saucepan, saute chicken, mushrooms, onions, and garlic in oil until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
Add prepared rice, broth, carrots and pepper and bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and evap milk until smooth; stir into rice mixture.
Return the mixture to a boil; cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

    Another thing I have done is cancel out the canola oil and sauté the chicken and veg in chicken broth.
