  8. Stir in chili powder, oregano, and cumin, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
  9. Add drained tomatoes, tomato paste, and water to the skillet.
  10. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, adding reserved tomato juice if it becomes too dry.
  11. Fold the cooked chicken cubes into the chili sauce and mix well.
  12. Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them until smooth.
  13. Stir margarine, salt, black pepper, and skim milk into the mashed potatoes until creamy and smooth.
