Ingredients

  • 2 lbs bone-in chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken
  • 1 lb pulled pork cooked
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 oz
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1.5 cups frozen lima beans
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce your favorite
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • If using raw chicken, place chicken thighs in a large pot with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken, shred the meat, and discard bones. Reserve the broth.
  • In the same large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, sauté the diced onion for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, reserved chicken broth (or 2 cups fresh broth), BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir to combine.
  • Add the shredded chicken, pulled pork, corn, and lima beans. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew has thickened and the flavors have melded. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with cornbread.
