CHICKEN STEW WITH OKRA, CORN, AND TOMATOES
This quick skillet stew may remind you of gumbo, if you serve it with a mound of white rice. Start the chicken first, so the fresh flavors of okra, corn, and tomatoes stay light and bright with only a brief simmering time at the end. Instead of rice, you can create a complete dinner plate with a side of roasted potatoes and a crisp, green salad. Add a piece of crusty bread, in either case, for a satisfying summer meal.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a deep, 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season each chicken thigh with Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Add chicken to shimmering oil and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- Add chicken broth, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is almost done, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
- Increase heat to medium, add okra, corn, and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Replace lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vegetables are soft and internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 more minutes.
- Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and stir into the sauce rapidly until thickened, about 3 minutes.

CHICKEN STEW WITH OKRA
Steps:
- Arrange chicken in 1 layer on a tray, then sprinkle with salt and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- While chicken stands, pulse tomatoes with their juice in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Stir water into tomato paste in a small bowl until smooth.
- Pat chicken dry. Heat oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, without crowding, in 3 or 4 batches, turning over occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs as browned to a 6- to 7-quart heavy pot. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, then add onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add onion, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste mixture, garlic paste, and cayenne to chicken in pot.
- Whisk together peanut butter and 1 cup broth in a bowl until smooth, then add to chicken along with remaining 3/4 cup broth, stirring to combine well (chicken will not be completely covered with liquid). Bring to a boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally (to prevent sticking), until chicken is very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Peel sweet potato and cut into 1-inch chunks. Stir into stew along with okra, then simmer, covered, until potato is tender but not falling apart, 10 to 12 minutes.
CHICKEN STEW WITH OKRA AND TOMATOES
Tender chicken, stewed tomatoes and spices that warm without too much heat: This stew is exactly what you want on a cold day. Okra is cooked over high heat with the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper and celery) to draw out its moisture and reduce any possibility of sliminess. Make sure to use bone-in chicken thighs: They take a little longer to cook, but they give this stew heft and flavor that you wouldn't get from boneless. This recipe calls for ripe plum tomatoes, but if you can't find good ones, use a 15-ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes instead.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, the paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Massage chicken with all the seasonings then let sit until room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium until hot, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken thighs into the hot oil and cover. Cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes, then flip the chicken, cover and cook until brown on the other side, another 5 minutes. (Covering the chicken helps keep it juicy.) Remove the thighs and set aside, leaving the fat and juices in the pan.
- Increase the heat to high and add the okra, the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper and celery), salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the pan. Sauté, stirring frequently, until starting to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomato paste, cayenne, cumin and remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; stir to combine.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and chicken broth to the pan, stirring and scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the mixture cooks. Add chicken, bay leaf and chopped parsley.
- Stir the stew and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to a simmer, stirring constantly, to let the okra thicken the stew. Cover the pot, vented on one side, and let the stew simmer for 35 minutes, occasionally stirring, until chicken is tender enough that you can break off a piece with your spoon.
- Remove chicken from pot, let it cool slightly, then cut it into thick shreds, discarding bones; add the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed; discard bay leaf. Add scallions, if you like, and serve hot, by itself or with rice.

CHICKEN STEW WITH OKRA
I found this recipe on the Epicurious site. The introduciton states that this is is a typical dish from West Africa that is served with rice to soak up the delicious sauce. It's often served with foo-foo (a side dish made from corn, sweet potato, and plantain or cassava meal).

TURKISH CHICKEN AND OKRA CASSEROLE
In Turkey, okra is often stewed with lamb or chicken. I liked this dish so much that I made it twice in one week, the second time for a big dinner party. It's adapted from Ghillie Basan's recipe in "Classic Turkish Cooking."

Steps:
- Trim the stems from the okra, and place them in a large bowl. Salt generously, douse with the vinegar, and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the other ingredients and begin cooking the dish. Toss from time to time.
- Heat half the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large lidded skillet or casserole. Brown the chicken in batches. Set the chicken aside in a bowl. Drain off excess fat from the pot and discard. Turn the heat down to medium, and add the remaining olive oil and the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about three minutes. Add the coriander seeds and Aleppo pepper (or chili powder or paprika), and stir until the onions are tender, about two minutes. Add the garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and sugar. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the dissolved tomato paste, and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste.
- Return the chicken pieces to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Drain the okra, and rinse thoroughly. Add to the pot with the chicken, arranging the okra on top of the chicken pieces. Add the lemon juice, cover the pan and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, and the okra should be just tender.
- If you wish, remove the chicken to a platter. Stir the okra into the sauce, and add the parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon over the chicken and serve. Alternatively, stir everything together in the pot, season, and serve with rice or bulgur. Pass thick plain yogurt for topping.
