Ingredients:  
1 T. olive oil
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/3 C. low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
˝ medium yellow onion, diced small
˝ green bell pepper, diced small
1/8 tsp. minced garlic
˝ (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
˝ T. Creole or Cajun seasoning
˝ (10-ounce) package frozen cut okra, thawed
1/8 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. gumbo filé powder (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Cut raw chicken into strips or cubes. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season chicken with salt and 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 break up the okra, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until everything is heated through and slightly thickened. Stir in hot sauce and season to taste. If you want a thicker gumbo, turn off the heat and add the gumbo filé powder (ground sassafras leaves—traditional to Cajun cooking) and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes. If gumbo becomes too thick, thin to taste with additional chicken stock or hot water.
