Step 1
In a medium stockpot, place chicken breasts and cover with water. Salt generously and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, cover and reduce to medium. Check occasionally and skim any foam off the top of the water as it cooks.
Step 2
Cook the chicken for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F.
Step 3
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat, drain the water (save for broth if desired), and set the chicken aside to cool.
Step 4
While the chicken is cooking, place the tomatoes into a separate stock pot and cover them with water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 8 minutes until soft, but not mushy. Remove from the water, and remove the peel if desired. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-heat and cook the onion until soft and translucent (5-6 minutes), stirring regularly.
Step 6
Into a blender or food processor, add the peeled tomatoes, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and chiles (see note for the number of chiles to add). Blend until smooth.
Step 7
Pour the tomato mixture into the skillet with the onions. Add in the marjoram, oregano, and thyme then stir to combine.
