Prepare Chicken: Rinse and dry the chicken pieces.

Fry Chicken: Place olive oil in a wide saucepan. When hot, fry the chicken pieces on both sides until they become golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
-
Saute Onion and Garlic: In the same saucepan, add the onion and garlic. Saute until they are pale brown.

Add Herbs and Tomatoes: Stir in the oregano, thyme, canned tomatoes, and water. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Season and Simmer: Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
-
Add Okra: After 20 minutes, add the prepared okra on top of the chicken. Ensure the okra sits in but is not completely covered by the sauce. If needed, add a little water to the pan.
-
Slow Cook: Shake the pan gently to distribute the ingredients. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes without stirring, but rotate the saucepan occasionally.
-
Reduce Sauce: Continue cooking until the water has evaporated, and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
