Introduction

This seems time consuming, but once you make it once it becomes a very simple quick dish. This is based on a SB recipe, but I changed it for my taste.

Ingredients

    1 Tbsp Olive Oil (EV)
    1 skinless, boneless Chicken breast
    1/3 c fat-free chicken broth
    1 c Pepper Stir-fry, frozen, thawed
    1/8 tsp minced garlic
    1 c canned whole or cut tomato, no sugar added
    1/2 Tbsp Creole or Cajun seasoning
    1/2 (10-ounce) pkg frozen cut okra, thawed
    1/4 tsp hot sauce (to taste)
    1-2 tsp Gumbo File powder (optional)
    salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

2 servings

Cut raw chicken into strips or cubes. Heat oil in a skillet over med-high heat until hot. Saute garlic, pepper medley about 3 minutes. Season chicken with salt & pepper to taste and add to skillet. Give pan a good shake every now and then to sear chicken on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes with their liquid and okra. Stir to breakup the okra, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes until everything is heated through and slightly thickened. Stir in hot sauce (to taste).

If you want a thicker gumbo, turn off the heat and add the gumbo file powder and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. If gumbo becomes too thick, thin to taste with additional chicken stock or hot water.

    VERY good. I modified it to fit Medi Weightloss a little better. I used non stick spray, instead of the oil, and added smoked turkey sausage. I did use File powder. This is a keeper - 11/21/10
