Add tomatoes and broth; bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Continue to simmer until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Season to taste. Return chicken to skillet, skin-sides up, along with any accumulated juices and olives.
• Transfer skillet to oven and braise, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through and liquid is reduced to a thick gravy, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta.
