A hearty and flavorful stew combining tender chicken, smoky pork, and a medley of vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.
Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
In a 6-quart Dutch oven, combine the onion, chicken broth, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
Stir well to dissolve the sugar and evenly distribute the seasonings.
Add the corn and butter beans to the pot and stir to combine.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly mixed into the broth.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, followed by the chicken and pork.
Gently stir to avoid breaking up the meat too much.
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Low and slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal.
