Can you make tomato chicken stew with canned tomatoes?

What is Tomato chicken stew?
Tomato chicken stew is a home-style dish of chicken pieces simmered until tender in a tomato-based sauce. In Turkey, where this version is a familiar everyday meal, cooks often build the sauce with onion and seasonings, with details varying from one household to another.
The chicken stays soft while the sauce turns rich, glossy and gently tangy. It is commonly served with rice, bulgur or bread to soak up the sauce; a simple salad makes a fresh side. Chicken gives the dish a protein-forward character, with 13.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and serve it with vegetables instead of a large portion of rice.
