14 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can)

You can puree tomatoes. If not, leave them in chunks to add some more texture to the sauce later and instead just stir the mixture until fully combined.
Add the chicken and cook on low 4-6 hours. Go ahead and cook up some rice so it’s ready to serve with your chicken. After it’s fully cooked, it will fall apart, which is just what it should be.
