Maw-Maws Brunswick Stew image

I'm not sure where she got this recipe, but it's one of my favorites. Mom tweaked it over the years by omitting the tomatoes and replacing the chicken legs for breast meat, even Maw Maw liked it better. I can remember eating it with a big ole slice of hot buttered sweet corn bread and thinking it was the best thing to ever...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken legs or 2lb cubed chicken breast
4 lg potatoes cubed
1 chopped onion
16 oz frozen whole kernal corn
16 oz frozen baby green lima beans
1 c flour
15 oz can(s) diced tomatoes (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/4 c olive oil or just enough to cover the bottom of the pot

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in heavy dutch oven. Season chicken (cubed breasts or chicken legs) with salt, pepper and garlic, dredge in flour.
  • 2. On Med to Med high heat brown chicken until just golden.
  • 3. Add onion and saute until tender. Don't brown or caramelize them.
  • 4. Add just enough water to cover. Add lima beans and simmer for ten minutes over medium heat.
  • 5. Add corn, potatoes, and tomatoes if using them. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes, covered or until potatoes and lima beans are tender. Keep just enough water to cover. The flour from dredging and the potatoes will serve to thicken the broth somewhat.
  • 6. Serve with garlic bread or cornbread and enjoy!
