To start, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and coat them in flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning, thyme, oregano, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the okra and browned chicken. Cover the pot and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the gumbo has thickened.
Serve the Cajun Chicken Gumbo over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests.
