Chicken Stew with Okra, Corn, and Tomatoes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Chicken Stew with Okra, Corn, and Tomatoes Recipe). This quick skillet stew may remind you of gumbo, if you serve it with a mound of white rice. Start the chicken first, so the fresh flavors of okra, corn, and tomatoes stay light and bright with only a brief simmering time at the end. Instead of rice, you can create a complete dinner plate with a side of roasted potatoes and a crisp, green salad. Add a piece of crusty bread, in either case, for a satisfying summer meal.
