A flavorful and aromatic chicken dish inspired by Mexican cuisine, featuring a rich tomato-based sauce.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after seasoning to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides until golden.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add diced tomatoes, lime juice, sugar, salt, oregano, cinnamon, clove, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed before simmering.
Cover the skillet and simmer the mixture until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm on a serving platter.
Cover the chicken with foil to retain heat while preparing the sauce.
Measure the pan juices and add water to make 2 cups. Return to the skillet.
Scrape the skillet to incorporate all the flavorful bits into the sauce.
Mix cornstarch with cold water in a bowl and add to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added color and flavor.
