Chicken Gumbo

Ingredients:

• 3 4 oz chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chopped tomatoes
• 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
• 2 1/2 cups frozen, chopped okra
• 4 cups brown rice (cooked)

Directions:

1. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cutting the chicken up into bite- size pieces until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl.
2. Heat the skillet to medium-high heat and add oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, celery, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring often, for about 30 seconds.
3. Add flour and cook, stirring to coat the vegetables, until the flour browns, about 1 minute.
4. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to release their juices, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth, cover, increase heat to high and bring to boil.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, along with okra; reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the okra is heated through, about 10 minutes.
