Baked Okra with Chicken
A warm tribute to meat, where tender chicken breast nestles alongside roasted okra—offering a rustic melody of textures and comfort that lingers with quiet elegance.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast, sliced
- 600g okra
- 3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- 5-6 tablespoons of flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- 400ml water (about 2 cups)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Wash the chicken breast, pat it dry, slice it, and coat each piece lightly with flour.
- In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the chicken pieces until they get a bit of color, without fully cooking them. Once done, place them in a bowl and set aside.
- In a baking dish, add the okra, onion, garlic, parsley, tomatoes, salt, pepper, water, and olive oil. Stir everything well to combine.
- Place the prepared chicken pieces among the okra in the dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180-190°C (356-374°F) for about 45-50 minutes, depending on your oven.
- If additional water is needed during cooking, add it carefully without stirring the okra to prevent it from breaking down. Instead, gently shake the baking dish from side to side.
Enjoy your meal!
