1 1/4 cups chicken broth or stock
2 pieces of dried bay leaves

Pour in cooking oil in a cooking pot or casserole then apply heat
Pan-fry the chicken until the color turns light brown (approx 3 minutes per side)
Remove the chicken from the cooking pot
On the same cooking pot, sauté garlic and onions
Put in the  pan-fried chicken then cook for a minute
Pour-in tomato sauce and chicken stock then add bay leaves. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes
