I'm heading to your house right now. Of course I don't know where you live - I'll just follow the aroma. :9

1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of butter.
3 cups chicken broth, defatted
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (8 oz. total), diced
1 (10 oz.) package frozen cut okra, thawed
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/3 cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 bay leaves
2 cups hot cooked rice (optional)
Melt the butter in a deep deep pot. Put in the flour and stir until it becomes a dark roux.
Stir in the vegetables.
Stir in the the chicken stock or broth.
Add the garlic and pepper and bay leaves.
Add the diced cooked chicken (which I usually have already cooked to make the stock).
Simmer for about an hour.
I like to steam the rice separetely and at it at the end, but you can add uncooked rice and simmer till it's cooked.
