👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the okra: In a bowl, toss the okra pieces with lime juice and let sit for 10 minutes to reduce sliminess. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Marinate the chicken: In a separate bowl, combine chicken pieces with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and brown on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: Add diced onion to the same pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped chili pepper (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Simmer the stew: Return the chicken to the pot. Add diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
