Pollo en Salsa is the perfect comfort food to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds with its rich, savory sauce!

1

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2

While the oil is heating, chop the onion and garlic finely.

3

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are translucent.

4

Then, add the tomatoes to the skillet. If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the tomatoes before adding them. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.

5

While the tomato mixture is cooking, season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

6

After the tomato mixture has cooked, create space in the center of the skillet and place the seasoned chicken, cooking each side for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.

7

Pour in the chicken broth, making sure it covers the chicken, and bring it to a gentle simmer.

8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.

9

Once everything is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze the lime juice over the dish and add finely chopped cilantro for garnish.

10

Serve hot with rice or tortillas to soak up the delicious sauce.
