Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
⅔ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (10 ounce) package frozen cut okra, thawed
2 tablespoons water
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 cups cooked long-grain white rice

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, salt, and cayenne. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes. Add okra, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes more.
Combine water and flour in a small bowl and add to the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, until thick and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 2 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in hot sauce. Serve over rice.
