Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer onto paper lined plate.
Using the same pan, add the onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Cook until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the white wine, chicken stock and tomato paste. Stir the mixture and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook, covered, over medium heat until the chicken are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
