Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams okra
- 300 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 large bell pepper
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 500 milliliters chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the okra thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Chop the bell pepper into small pieces and add to the pot. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes, along with their juice, into the pot. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken to the pot along with the okra. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the okra and chicken are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
