braised tomato chicken

So since my last two posts were baked goods I thought Id mix it up and do "whats for dinner tonight". 

Its a rainy day a bit chilly, very gloomy but I don't mind! just means time to break out the comfort food. WOOP!. 
For dinner tonight I thought I would make something with chicken.. and I saw in my cupboard that i had a can of  stewed tomatoes, onions, and some garlic..so what better then those 4 ingredients?? My take on a lighter Chicken Parmesan but not cheese, heavy breading and the thick tomato sauce... Though don't get me wrong... chicken Parmesan is friggin AMAZING but sometimes the littlest things can make a BIG impact!. 
This is a great meal for the slow cooker also.prepare it the night before and throw it on before work or a hectic day and by the time dinner rolls around all you have to do is figure out with you want to have with it!. 
I have some left over carrots and sweet potatoes from last nights dinner so that's what im serving with mine. 
Anyways... enough of me blabbering haha heres the recipe 

(Feeds 4)
4 large bone in skinless chicken breasts (bone in adds flavor, keeps the meat moist)
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 small onion chopped and sauteed 
1 garlic clove minced and sauteed with the onion
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp sugar (takes away the harsh acidity of the tomatoes) 
salt & pepper to taste. 
if you have white wine add a splash ! you can still feed this to your children, the alcohol evaporates and just leaves the taste.

cook at 350 for 1.5 hrs  & serve with your choice of side dish
