Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (3 to 4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thigh -cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt -divided
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ ounces smoked sausage -thickly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- 1 clove garlic -minced
- ½ tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 small red potato -peeled and diced (2 to 2 ½ oz)
- ¼ cup corn
- ¼ cup canned Northern beans or lima beans - rinsed and drained
- ½ cup canned diced tomatoes with some of their juices
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons bbq sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Season chicken with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and pepper, then cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked.
- Add sausage and cook 1 minute, flipping once.
- Stir in onions and cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook 30 seconds.
- Add potatoes, corn, beans, diced tomatoes with juice, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Notes
- Brown the Meat: Browning the chicken and sausage first adds rich flavor to the stew.
- Use the Tomato Paste: It deepens the tomato base and balances the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.
- Beans: Northern beans are creamy and mild, while lima beans are traditional. Use whichever you prefer.
- BBQ Sauce Matters: A thick tomato-based sauce adds sweetness; Carolina-style brings a tangier, less sweet flavor.
- Doubling the Recipe: Use a larger pot so the ingredients cook evenly.
