For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Be sure to adjust cooking time accordingly. Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, you can use regular diced tomatoes and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
