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.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sliced okra
- 1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
- 2 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and stir into the sauce rapidly until thickened, about 3 minutes.
