Here's another one, I modified it to suit our tastes however and didn't include the rice in the calories so I apologize but it turned out delicious anyway :-)
Olive oil cooking spray
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry, cut into bite-size pieces
4 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 cup diced onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz grape tomatoes, halved (2 cup)
1 cup fresh chopped or frozen cut okra (thawed, if frozen)
1 tsp dried thyme
4 dried bay leaves
2 tbsp Louisiana hot sauce (although I ended up using half a bottle of Tabasco)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided (didn't use any, didn't have
Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium high. Coat skillet with cooking spray, add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked through, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a separate plate.
Return skillet to medium-high and heat 1 tbsp oil. Add onion and pepper and cook for 4 minutes or until beginning to lightly brown, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook for 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Add 1/2 cup water, tomatoes, okra, thyme and bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until okra is just tender. Remove from heat, stir in hot sauce, salt, remaining 1 tbsp oil and 1/4 cup parsley. Add chicken, stir to blend, cover and let stand for 5 minutes to absorb flavors and heat chicken thoroughly.
Toss rice with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and serve chicken mixture over top.
