  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, oregano, and basil to the skillet. Return the chicken to the pan and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot. This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
