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!

BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Bring water and chicken to a boil in a Dutch oven. Reduce heat, and simmer for 40 minutes or until tender. Remove chicken, and set aside. Reserve 3 cups broth in Dutch oven.

Cook, stirring often, for 40 minutes or until liquid is reduced by 1/3.

BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Pour the broth along with another quart of water into a large, lidded pot such as a Dutch oven. Bring this to a boil, and add the onion and salt to taste. Add the squirrel or other meat and skim any foam that forms. Simmer gently until the meat is falling off the bone, anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
• Fish out all the meats and remove the meat from the bones; this makes the stew a lot easier to eat. Discard the bones.
• Add all the tomatoes and the potatoes and simmer 30 minutes.
• Add the beans, corn and okra and simmer another 30 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Tinker with seasonings and serve. Cornbread is a nice accompaniment.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND CORN STEW

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a 4- to 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then lightly brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a bowl using tongs.
• While chicken is browning, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Add onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon thyme to pot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and water and bring to a boil, whisking.
• Add potatoes and corn to onion mixture, then cover and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken (along with any juices accumulated in bowl) and cream, then simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through and potatoes are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon thyme.
