Creamy Sauce

Method

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 1

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the marinated chicken (with all the marinade) to the pan, increasing the heat to medium-high. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the tomato puree and stir well to combine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 5 minutes until creamy.

  5. 5

    Season with salt to taste and add chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
