Mucus-y okra with chicken

Ah ah ah!
Forget what I have said so far! This is the most summer-y dish ever!!!
Ok, apart from whatever consists of zucchini!

Mucus-y okra with chicken
Take 1kg of okra and put them as they are into a bowl with salt and vinegar and let them rest in peace for 2-3 hours.
You have to do this, otherwise you'll find yourself eating the okra-mucus!

Take 2 chicken breasts and cut them into cubes. Fry them in a casserole with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they change colour all around. Add 1 chopped onion, 2 tomatoes julienne, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and a bit of chopped parsley.  Salt and pepper. Add enough water to cover the food and let it boil.
Just 3 minutes (ok, if it's 5 minutes, it's not a big deal... chill!) before your chicken is done, add the okra and stir it for 3-4 minutes.
Then, transfer the food to an oven pan and bake it in 220o C until -well it's classic now- it "drinks" all its water and only its juices with the olive oil are left (around 20-30 minutes).

Make sure you stir the food 2-3 times during the baking so as to avoid your okra to turn black.

Enjoy!!!
