1

Start by taking a package of 800 grams of chicken breasts with bone and skin.

2

Cut a whole white onion in half and then into quarters.

3

Remove the leaves from a stalk of celery and prepare it.

4

Crush 3 cloves of garlic with a chef's knife to peel them more easily.

5

In a pot with boiling water over medium heat, add the quartered onion, celery, and peeled garlic.

6

Add the chicken breasts with bone and skin to the pot and let them boil for 40 to 45 minutes.

7

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt to the broth and a few bay leaves.

8

While the chicken cooks, prepare the tomato sauce by placing 1 kilogram of tomatoes in a hot skillet over medium heat to roast them.

9

Roast the tomatoes for a few minutes until they start to sweat and get a nice color on each side.

10

Add a quarter of the onion and a couple of garlic cloves to the skillet to roast them as well.

11

Transfer all roasted ingredients to a blender and add 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, a pinch of ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.

12

Blend all ingredients until well incorporated and return the sauce to the skillet.

13

Cook the sauce over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes until it thickens and flavors intensify.

14

Optionally, add some heavy cream to the sauce for extra creaminess.

15

After 45 minutes, remove the chicken breasts from the broth, ensuring no small bones or cartilage remain.

16

Shred the chicken by hand or use a food processor, adding 3 to 4 tablespoons of chicken broth to keep it juicy.

17

Finely chop a red onion and cilantro for garnish.

18

Grate a block of panela cheese for the entomatadas.

19

Heat corn tortillas on a comal until warm.

20

Fill tortillas with shredded chicken and roll them up.

21

Pour the tomato sauce generously over the rolled tortillas to your liking.

22

Top with sour cream, grated Chihuahua cheese, and optionally add chopped onion and cilantro for garnish.
