★Thank you for 1000 reports★ A classic tomato-braised chicken. The chicken breast is not overcooked, making it tender and juicy. The secret ingredients are soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce!
Origin of this recipe
If you season the canned tomatoes with a sweet chili flavor, it becomes our family's chicken chili (Recipe: 2484017).
It's a Western-style tomato stew, but the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce add depth. The finishing touch of butter makes the tomatoes creamy.
Leeks are in season in the fall, so this version uses leeks, but normally it's made with onions.

Steps

1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce and sake at a 1:3 ratio.
2

Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan and brown the cornstarch-coated chicken on both sides. Remove from the pan.
3

Finely chop the leek (or onion). Sauté until lightly browned. (Use plenty of oil, medium heat)
4

Add the canned tomatoes and ingredients marked with ★, and simmer for 3 minutes. (Medium heat) *Do not over-reduce, as the thickness will naturally develop when the meat is added.
5

Add the butter and chicken, bring to a boil, and mix gently. *The cornstarch on the chicken will naturally thicken the sauce. *Do not overmix the chicken.
