Heat olive oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season each chicken thigh with Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Add the chicken to the shimmering oil and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Add the chicken broth, the chopped onion, and the minced garlic. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Increase the heat to medium, add the okra, corn, and tomatoes, and bring back to a boil. Replace the lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 more minutes.

Stir the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl, then rapidly stir the mixture into the sauce until thickened, about 3 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
