Heat oil and butter in a pot.

Add flour and stir until it absorbs the oil, creating a roux; cook until it turns a dark chocolate color, about 17 minutes.

Gradually add chicken broth, stirring to avoid lumps; keep the heat low to prevent burning.

Once the mixture is smooth, add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened.

Add tomato puree (or canned tomatoes) to the mixture.

Incorporate sliced okra into the pot.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add raw rice to the mixture and let it cook with the other ingredients.

Finally, add cooked or grilled chicken to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes to ensure everything is well combined.
