Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 14 ounces Canned cream-style corn
• 14 ounces Canned lima beans, drained and rinsed
• 14 ounces Canned diced potatoes, drained
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, place the chicken breasts and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 2

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Reserve the chicken broth in the pot.

Step 3

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, cream-style corn, lima beans, diced potatoes, barbecue sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the reserved chicken broth in the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir into the stew mixture.

Step 6

Bring the stew to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Step 8

Ladle the Chicken Brunswick Stew into bowls and serve warm. Optionally, serve with cornbread or crackers for a comforting meal.
