Drizzle with 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the cut up chicken and season to taste with salt & pepper. Sauté until the chicken is just golden in color. Remove from heat and add cooked vegetables to the pan and season with chicken seasoning and Cajun seasoning; toss to blend. Meanwhile, in a 2 quart pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the orzo. If the chicken stock is bland, add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt to taste. Bring back to a boil and cook, uncovered for 8 - 10 minutes or until just tender. Turn down the heat to low and add the cooked chicken/vegetable mixture to the cooked orzo. Add the Okra and heat gently. Adjust seasonings, if necessary and serve. Cook's Notes Avoid slimy okra by never allowing it to boil! Thaw okra in warm water. Drain well before adding to soup. I like to make this a savory dish, rather that a hot and spicy one. Because the orzo will continue to absorb liquid, this soup is best served at once. To prepare in advance, simply cook the chicken and vegetables as directed, cool, and store in refrigerator. About 25 minutes before serving, prepare the orzo in the stock as directed, turn down the heat to low, add the chicken/vegetable mixture and thoroughly heat through. Add the thawed and drained okra and heat a few more minutes. If leftovers are too thick, simply stir in a little chicken stock. Adjust seasonings as necessary. For a thicker soup, simply allow the orzo to absorb more liquid.
