Add the onion and celery to the same pan over medium heat (add a little more oil if necessary). Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic, dried basil, and dried cilantro and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and wine (or broth) and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pan with any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
