1. 
   To prepare this dish, prepare all the necessary ingredients, dishes and kitchen utensils, make sure that all the products you use are fresh. Also prepare a frying pan and a large saucepan with a thick bottom.
2. 
   Divide the chicken into portions. Then peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings.
3. 
   Peel the tomatoes. First, pour boiling water over them, then cool in ice water, cut the base of the tomato in a cross shape and pull the skin. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.

   Place half the chicken in a dry frying pan, fry the pieces of meat until golden brown. Do the same with the second part of the chicken. Then transfer the fried chicken to a thick-bottomed pan.

   Melt the butter in a frying pan, then add the chopped onion to the pan and fry it for 10-15 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. After frying, place the onions in the pan with the chicken.
6. 
   Place the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste in a frying pan and simmer covered for 5-10 minutes. After stewing, transfer the contents to the pan with the remaining ingredients.
7. 
   Place the pan with all the ingredients on the stove, carefully mix the ingredients of the dish. Turn the heat to low and simmer the dish covered for 20 minutes. Remember that the chicken should be stewed in tomato sauce without adding liquid.

   Chop a bunch of cilantro and add the greens to the pan, sprinkle the ingredients with suneli hops. Squeeze the garlic cloves using a garlic press, then add it to the dish being prepared, and then add salt.
