Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients

For the Stew

  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 2 cups cooked pork shredded
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup corn kernels

For the Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1 cup of diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of corn kernels. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and season with 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing everything to heat through and the flavors to mingle.
  • Once your base is fragrant and warmed, incorporate 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken and 2 cups of shredded cooked pork into the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the meats are coated with the flavorful mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the proteins to blend in with the seasonings beautifully.
  • Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot. Let your Brunswick Stew cook undisturbed for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to enhance the flavors.
  • After simmering, taste your Brunswick Stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you desire more tang, add a splash more of apple cider vinegar. For a more robust flavor, consider adding a pinch more Worcestershire sauce or salt. Stir everything together one last time.
  • Ladle the Brunswick Stew into bowls and serve hot, perhaps with crusty bread or cornbread on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
