Chicken Okra Stir Fry

This week I tried Okra for the first time. I can't believe I had never had it before! I made Gumbo with it at the first of the week and tonight I made Chicken Okra Stir Fry. AMAZING! I found the recipe in a magazine, but since I did not have half the ingredients I made up my own stir fry, and it turned out great!
