Remove chicken from pot and drain. Heat olive oil in a big skillet and brown chicken on all sides. In the same skillet with the browned chicken, put back the sauce and add the remaining ingredients. Stir carefully to mix well. Season to taste. Simmer further until chicken is well done and sauce is thick.
