Ingredients
- Chicken
- 2 pounds, cut into pieces
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 large, chopped
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Tomatoes
- 4 medium, diced
- Okra
- 2 cups, sliced
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 8-10 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and sliced okra to the pan, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes. This will allow the chicken to cook fully and the okra to become tender.
- Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lime juice, garlic, and spices for a few hours before cooking.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier cut, or use a mix of dark and white meat for varied textures.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the onions.
