  • Sprinkle all the herbs and spices evenly over the chicken, stir to completely incorporate.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, stir to mix everything together.
  • Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes, this should allow some of the liquid to evaporate. This will allow it to thicken.
