Description
A flavor-packed spiced tomato chicken dish that brings the warmth and vibrance of Mexican cooking to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken pieces (thighs or breasts)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker or slow cooker over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides for added flavor.
- Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant—about 1 minute.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
- If using a pressure cooker: secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally. For a slow cooker: cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the chicken is tender.
- Once cooked, stir to coat the chicken in the beautifully spiced sauce and serve it hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in spices and garlic for an hour before cooking. Adjust cooking times based on chicken piece size.
