Add chopped garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in the wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add tomato and next 6 ingredients (tomato through pepper); stir well. Return chicken to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until chicken is tender.

But kind of bland. Needed twice the polenta

This is easy and really tasty. Be sure to serve a crusty bread because the sauce is great. I added shaved parmesan and black pepper to the polenta rounds. Everybody loved it.

We thought this dish was very good, but were not blown over by it. I doubled the sauce ingredients since I had about 5 1/2 pounds of chicken. I wasn't sure if I should have tripled the sauce since I almost tripled the chicken, but I found that doubling the sauce was sufficient. Used a lot of garlic though!

This is our favorite CL recipe, and we go through a lot of them! One key is to add ALL the garlic, even more. We have made this with boneless thighs, let is simmer for a long time, and my husband loved it even better.
