Print this recipe: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/roasted-okra-with-chicken-kota-me-bamies/ 1 and 1/2 - 2 pounds okra ​1/2 cup olive oil 1-2 small onions, sliced whole into rounds 2 - 3 garlic cloves, peeled ​15 ounces crushed tomatoes salt and black pepper, to taste pinch crushed red pepper flakes 6 chicken leg quarters (skinless) 1 teaspoon dried oregano Preheat oven to 400 °F, 200 °C. ​Wash the okra under running water and place them in a large bowl that is fillled with cold water and about a half cup of vinegar. Let them soak in the water for 30 minutes. Pat them dry. Snip the tops of the okra and discard. Pan fry the okra in the olive oil for a few minutes or until some of them get golden. Do not cook them through. Remove from heat and place them in a large baking pan.. ​Brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side and add chicken to the pan. Either in the center or around the okra for a beautiful presentation. Cook the onions in the pan until slightly softened and add the garlic in that final few seconds. Place the onions in the pan with the okra and chicken. Pour the crushed tomatoes over the okra and chicken. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. ​Mix to coat everything well so that it is seasoned well. Cover with foil and bake covered for 30 minutes. ​Remove foil and bake uncovered for 1 hour or until the chicken is completely cooked through, the sauce is thickened and some of the okra is caramelized. Season with dried oregano or chopped fresh parsley. Serve with warm bread. ​Enjoy!​ Music Used: Greek Sun Time (With Intro) ITEM ID: 66582698 By: tonyanthony Its All Greek ITEM ID: 84456733 By: LowNotes Official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/dimitrasdishes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dimitras.dishes/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dimitrasdis0637/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DimitrasDishes Here are links to some of my favorite cooking tools.
