This was easy to make, but I would tweak it if I made it again. I added a chopped bell pepper, celery, and used fresh garlic. This made tons of sauce. Next time I'd add a tiny bit of sugar to adjust the tartness of the tomatoes and drain them first. I did appreciate the skinned chicken to reduce fat and the cooking times. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Wow, this was so much better than I thought it would be! I used home frozen tomatoes. Next time I will cook up some spaghetti to serve with this and then probably will have to double the sauce to serve with it.
