Step 1
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes golden brown.
Step 3
Add the boneless chicken pieces and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Let the mixture cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely softened and formed a thick sauce.
