More helpful tips for you.

1. Chicken bouillon and water are used in making my sauce. You can also use chicken broth instead of the bullion and water.
2. If you are using tomatoes that came are in a jar with oil, drain oil and use it instead of the olive oil to sear the chicken in.
3. For thicker sauce, you can use heavy cream for one cup of the broth.
4. When precooking or searing the chicken, try not to overcrowd the pan as this can affect the chicken moisture. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your pan.
5. Deglazing your pan after you cook the chicken can yield some great flavors that you can add to your sauce. Simple use some of the chicken broth to deglaze, to loosen up what is left in the pan.
6. Sun dried tomatoes are commonly use to make this recipe. Tomato paste can also be used (up to a tablespoon).
