Chicken in Roasted Tomato Sauce
Pollo en Salsa de Jitomate CaseraA whole cut-up chicken can be used for this home-style dish, but I prefer the leg-thigh quarters, braising them slowly in the sauce until the meat is succulent and tender. Serve with steamed rice and Grapefruit, Orange, and Avocado Salad.
