Okra Stew with Chicken

A vegetable stew — but with something a little more exotic than the usual ingredients! A delicious Creole dish. It's great for anyone who wants to shake up their menu, is fasting, or is vegetarian. I buy okra frozen at the big supermarkets and, I have to admit, I've grown very fond of it. I've tried it in all kinds of dishes — and I especially love it cooked this way, with chicken breast.
