Directions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until lightly golden and fragrant.
- 2
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelised.
- 3
Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring, until most of the released liquid has evaporated and the pieces are sealed.
- 4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and crumbled stock cube. Cover and simmer over low heat.
- 5
If the sauce thickens too quickly, add a small splash of warm water — just enough to keep it saucy without becoming watery.
- 6
Cook until the sauce is rich and glossy. Stir in the freshly chopped herbs.
- 7
Remove from heat, rest for a few minutes, then serve alongside steamed rice.
💡 Chef's Tip
The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavourful your sauce will be. A pinch of smoked paprika or dried oregano adds a lovely depth.
