How to Make Chicken Brunswick Stew

  1. Place 2 lbs bone-in chicken pieces in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Add enough water to completely cover the chicken.
  3. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is easily removed from the bone (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  5. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Once cool, shred the chicken meat, discarding the bones and skin.
  6. To the pot, add 2 cups frozen corn, 1 (15-ounce) can butter beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1/2 cup ketchup, and 2 tablespoons white vinegar.
  7. Cook for 2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add the shredded chicken, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, and 2 tablespoons butter to the stew.
  9. Heat through, stirring gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or biscuits.
