Step 1

Place chicken, onion, bay leaf, garlic and a little salt in a pot then cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the meat is tender.

Strain the broth and let the chicken cool and then shred it using two forks. Set everything aside.

Step 3

Put the tomatoes, onion, chilies, garlic and a cup of the chicken broth in a blender. Blend until you get a smooth sauce.

Step 4

In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the sauce, season with salt to taste and add the cumin.
