Steps:

Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, using a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
• Stir in the broth, sugar, oregano and rosemary. Return the chicken pieces to the pot and turn to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for breast pieces (or about 20 minutes if using thighs).
