- Add in the garlic and rosemary and stir until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add in the tomatoes, red wine, and broth and stir until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add the mushrooms and chicken back into the sauce and bring to a low simmer.
- Cover and let cook until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C), about 5-8 minutes.
