The original ingredient list contained errors (e.g., "Recipes+ FEBRUARY 2017"). This recipe assumes standard ingredients for a tomato-based chicken sauce: tomato sauce, vegetable oil, onion, celery, carrot, and spices. Adjust quantities based on the amount of chicken you are serving.
For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or hot sauce during the simmering stage.
