8 ounces chorizo, thinly sliced (I used smoked turkey sausage instead)<\/h3>\n
2 cups frozen okra<\/h3>\n
2 stalks celery, chopped<\/h3>\n
1 green bell pepper, chopped (I used a red bell pepper)<\/h3>\n
1 onion, chopped<\/h3>\n
3 cloves garlic, minced<\/h3>\n
1\/2 cup canola oil (I used 1\/4 cup)<\/h3>\n
1\/2 cup flour (I used less)<\/h3>\n
4 cups chicken broth<\/h3>\n
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs<\/h3>\n
1 tablespoon smoked paprika<\/h3>\n
1 teaspoon salt (I added but recipe didn’t call for it)<\/h3>\n
Cook<\/span> chorizo in a 4 to 6 quart Dutch oven over medium heat till a thin layer of fat forms.\u00a0 Transfer chorizo to a bowl.<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Add <\/span> okra, celery, pepper, onion, and garlic; cook and stir 10 minutes.\u00a0 Place in bowl with chorizo.<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Add<\/span> canola oil to pot.\u00a0 Whisk in flour until mixture thickens and turns a medium brown, about 6 minutes. Whisk in broth.<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Add<\/span> tomatoes, reserved chorizo and vegetables, chicken, and paprika.\u00a0 Bring to a boil.\u00a0 Simmer gently uncovered for 45 minutes.<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Remove<\/span> chicken and cool.\u00a0 Shred with a fork and return it to pot.\u00a0 Heat through.<\/h3>\n
NOTE:\u00a0 This recipe did not call for salt or pepper, but I added both.\u00a0 Also, I used a few dashes of Tabasco sauce to add some heat.<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Serve<\/span> over prepared white rice.\u00a0 Serves 8.\u00a0 It’s great with a salad and garlic bread.<\/h3>\n
We will see you back here tomorrow for our Seasons’ Saturday Selections.\u00a0 I am headed to Nashville today to hear Diane Keaton speak at their antique show.\u00a0 Can’t wait.<\/h3>\n
Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
