Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender. If necessary, add more chicken broth to keep mixture moist.


If desired, remove meat from pan. Cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut meat off bones and coarsely chop. Discard fat and bones. Skim fat from top of mixture. Stir in meat (if necessary), undrained tomatoes, and wine. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer,covered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
