Heat the skillet and oil over medium high heat. Once hot, season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder, and cook about 2 minutes on each side to brown. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Chicken will finish cooking later.
Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the remaining oil in the skillet and add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring to scrape the chicken bits from the bottom, and cook until they start to become clear and caramelized.
Add the tomatoes, broth, basil and oregano to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Stir in the sugar, salt and pepper, and then nestle the chicken in the sauce, cover and simmer about 5-8 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp.)
