A hearty Southern favorite, Georgia Brunswick Stew blends tender pork, chicken, and vegetables with a rich tomato-barbecue broth. This comforting dish is full of smoky, savory flavor and perfect for cool evenings or family gatherings.
In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, corn, lima beans, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in pulled pork and cooked chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Add extra broth if stew becomes too thick.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add hot sauce to taste. Serve with extra barbecue sauce if desired.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, try using smoked pulled pork or smoked paprika. This stew freezes well and tastes even better the next day.
