- Pour in the wine and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the base of the pan.
- Add the tomatoes, stock, brown sauce, bay leaves, oregano and rosemary and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the chicken and its juices to the pan, cover and simmer gently for 45 to 50 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through to 165°F.
- Remove the bay leaves, stir in the parsley and basil and adjust the salt and pepper.
