3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons oil in skillet. Add onion, garlic and jalapeños; cover and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, raisins and bay leaf; cook 5 minutes.

4. Pour onion mixture over chicken in baking dish. Cover and bake 20 minutes.
