I would probably consider using canned diced tomatoes, with maybe half the juice drained. Yes, a good, ripe, fresh summer tomato is almost impossible to beat, but during a lot of the season those aren't reliably available.

This recipe is really good. Watch out if you use Mexican Hot Chili Powder. Also I found the tomatoes in this recipe produce a lot of juice, I would remove the chicken when cooked (set aside), then add 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice. Cook until tender then add the chicken back to warm.

Try Old Bay Seasoning from the supermarket. It's touted for seafood primarily, but it can be good on most anything. And you don't have to blend it yourself.
