ingredients

4 bone-in chicken thighs, with skin
1/2 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, plain or flavored (such as with onions, celery and green peppers)

Remove chicken skin, if desired. Sprinkle each side of chicken pieces with Creole or Cajun seasoning.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add chicken. Cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and set side.

Add tomatoes (undrained) and okra (unthawed) to pot; mix well, scraping bottom of pot to collect any brown bits.
