Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is almost cooked through.

Add the sliced okra to the stew. Stir well and continue to simmer, covered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until okra is tender and chicken is fully cooked.
💡 专业技巧: Avoid over-stirring the okra once added to prevent it from becoming too mushy. - 9
While the stew is simmering, prepare the pap according to package directions. It should be a stiff, firm porridge.
💡 专业技巧: Pap is typically made by gradually adding maize meal to boiling water while stirring vigorously to prevent lumps. - 10
Adjust seasoning of the stew with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the chicken and okra stew hot over a generous portion of pap. Garnish with fresh coriander if desired.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓To reduce the sliminess of okra, you can lightly sauté it separately before adding it to the stew, or soak it in salted water for 30 minutes and then rinse.
- ✓For a spicier stew, add a pinch of chili flakes or a chopped fresh chili along with the garlic and ginger.
- ✓If you don't have chicken broth, water can be used, but broth will add more depth of flavor.
