Are you one of those who saves your tomato sauce for the pastas? You think the red round vegetable fruit belongs only with spaghetti and maybe some balls of meat? Well, the customers is always right, but in this case, you're also wrong: tomato sauce, with shallot and cilantro, enrobes this chicken with so much delightful flavor, you'll forget what pasta is, let alone what else you used to use tomato sauce for.
