Chicken -N- Okra Over Rice

4 to 5 chicken breasts
 Chopped okra frozen or fresh
A little of Savoy’s dark roux or homemade
Chopped onion, bell peppers, parsley  and chopped garlic
Cooked rice 4-5 cups

Directions
Slice chicken breast in halves or slices . Brown chicken in oil on stove. Then add onions, peppers and garlic. Sauté that with chicken. After chicken is almost cooked thru then add 2-3 tbs of dark roux, I use Savoy’s. Add some water enough to make a little gravy. Then add parsley and okra. Add your desired amount of okra. I use about 2 bags of frozen okra , my bunch likes a lot of okra. Add some more water maybe half of cup or a little more . Let it cook on medium to low until chicken is fully cooking and okra is cooked. Cook your rice separately and then serve chicken and okra over rice. You can also add shrimp or substitute chicken for shrimp. It’s an easy dish and delicious!
