- 1 large bell pepper
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 500 milliliters chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the okra thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
Step 5
Chop the bell pepper into small pieces and add to the pot. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the canned tomatoes, along with their juice, into the pot. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the pot along with the okra. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 9
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the okra and chicken are tender.
Step 10
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
