    The last step of this recipe is waiting. The master pot should be left on low heat for about one hour and a half to two hours while stirring consistently to prevent sticking or burning to the edges of the pan. The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative. The end result is always a happy mouth and a taste of mexican heritage itself. Enjoy.
