Add the chicken and tomatoes. Add the pieces of chicken to the pot along with the white wine that hasn't evaporated. Top with crushed tomatoes. Add the bouquet garni.

    Delicious full of great flavor My suggestion: add diced mushrooms at the same time as the tomatoes, simply exceptional.

    a delight tasty recipe. My suggestion: I serve it with basmati rice, with gourmet grains, or with a mix of "grains and legumes," plain.
