Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
-
Stir in the sliced okra and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the okra to soften slightly.
-
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, along with the chicken broth, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer.
-
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender.
-
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
-
Serve the Okra and Chicken Stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
