Chicken Cooked in Tomato Soy Sauce

This year my vegetable garden produced quite a lot of tomatoes. I made several dishes with fresh tomatoes, and one of them is chicken cooked in tomato-soy sauce. The tender chunks of chicken slowly cooked in a nicely seasoned tomato-soy sauce are a good way to enjoy a simple dinner.
 
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breasts and legs, skinless and boneless
Vegetables:
1 small onion, cut into chunks
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup carrots, cut into chunks
1 cup button mushrooms, thickly sliced
Sauce:
3 tbs cooking wine
4 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs ketchup
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup water
Thickening:
2 tbs water
1 tbs cornstarch
Garnish with green onions, cut into 2 inch lengths

Directions:
In a pot, heat oil over high heat. Then stir-fry onions until fragrant.

Add tomatoes and stir briefly. Add chicken and carrots.

Add sauce ingredients and bring to boil.

Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add mushrooms in the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

Mix cornstarch and water and add into the pot. Cook until thickened. Sprinkle with green onions.

This dish is suitable to serve with cooked noodles or rice.
