Category: Poultry, Stews

 Ingredients List

  • 6 lb Stewing hen
  • (or two 3 lb broilers)
  • 2 lg Onions, sliced
  • 2 c Okra, cut (optional)
  • 4 c Fresh OR
  • 2(l lb cans tomatoes)
  • 2 c Lima beans, frozen
  • 3 md Potatoes, diced
  • 4 c Corn cut from cob OR
  • 2 (cans of corn, 1 lb each)
  • 3 ts Salt
  • 1 ts Pepper
  • 1 tb Sugar

 Directions

Cut chicken in pieces and simmer in 3 quarts of water for a THIN stew, or 2
quarts of water for a THICK stew, until meat can easily be removed from the
bones, about 2 1/4 hours. Remove chicken and let cool.

Add the vegetables to the broth and simmer uncovered until the beans and
potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Add the
chicken deboned and diced, or in sections. Add the seasonings.

NOTE: If canned vegetables are used, include their juices and reduce water
to 2 quarts for a thin stew, and 1 quart for a thick stew.

ALSO NOTE: Brunswick Stew is one of those delectable things that benefit
from long, slow cooking. It is a rule in some homes never to eat
Brunswick Stew the same day it is made, because its flavor improves if it
is left to stand overnight and is reheated the next day.
