I bought the ingredients for this recipe about a week and a half (maybe more) before I actually got around to making it, so unfortunately the okra was bad by then. I couldn't find it frozen, so I had bought it fresh. Just pretend in my picture there's okra, haha!
The only thing I intentionally changed was the lime to a lemon. We've found that we just don't like lime juice at all, and lemon tastes great with chicken. So do whatever your family prefers, I'm sure they'd both work great!
