Chicken with Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipe

This recipe is like a westernised tomato-based version of an Asian chicken curry. It doesn’t smell as pungent or aromatic as an Indian curry but you get this sweetness from the tomatoes & onions and a little spicy kick from the red chilli. For best results, do use coconut milk or cream just like you would in a regular curry dish. I chose to use evaporated milk instead as a healthier alternative. Either way, the sauce should still be rich in flavour and creamy & thick in texture. Enjoy this Chicken with Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipe!

Tip: Use Diced Tomatoes with No Salt Added (I use S&W brand) so you can adjust the amount of sodium that goes into the dish.
