How to Prepare Chicken in Tomato Sauce

Chicken in tomato sauce, also known as "pollo entomatado" in Spanish, is a delicious and flavorful dish that is easy to prepare. This article will guide you through the process of preparing this mouthwatering chicken dish in just a few simple steps.

To begin, gather all the necessary ingredients. You will need chicken pieces, preferably bone-in for added flavor, as well as tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a variety of spices such as cumin, oregano, and paprika.

Additionally, you will need some oil for cooking and salt and pepper to season the dish.

Start by heating some oil in a large skillet or a saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook them until they are browned on all sides. This step is important as it helps to seal in the juices and add a rich flavor to the dish. Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

Next, in the same skillet, add the chopped onions and garlic and cook them until they become soft and fragrant. This will help to develop the base flavors of the sauce. After the onions and garlic are cooked, add the tomatoes to the skillet. You can use either fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, depending on your preference and availability. If using canned tomatoes, make sure to drain any excess liquid before adding them to the skillet.
