  1. Place chicken in a Dutch oven; cover with water and bring to a boil. I add a celery stalk with leaves cut into quarters, several small carrots, a bay leaf and hot pepper to the water. Simmer 45 minutes for the breasts or 1 1/2 hours for whole chicken, until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth, and let cool. Remove chicken from bone and chop. Set aside.

Add tomatoes sauce, chilis , sugar and seasonings; stir well. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour. Stir about every 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 Celsius sour cream.
