4 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
4 tbsps chicken stock or water
450 g (1 lb) canned tomatoes
2 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsps tomato puree
2 tbsps cider vinegar
30 g (1 oz) light brown sugar or honey
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
Pinch allspice
Salt and pepper
4 tomatoes, skinned, seeded and cut into thin strips to garnish
method
1. Place the chicken in one layer in a large casserole with the stock or water. Cover tightly and cook on MEDIUM for 10 minutes. Leave to stand, covered, for at least 5 minutes while preparing the sauce.
2. Combine all the sauce ingredients with the cooking liquid from the chicken in a deep bowl.
3. Cook, uncovered, for 7 minutes on HIGH, until the sauce reduces and thickens.
4. Remove the bay leaf and blend the sauce in a food processor until smooth.
5. Arrange the chicken breasts on a serving plate and coat with the sauce. Add the tomato strips and reheat for 30 seconds on HIGH before serving.
