Brunswick stew

6 servings, 1½ cups each

Chicken, whole or cut-up 3 pounds
Salt 1½ teaspoons
Water 3 cups
Potatoes, diced 1 cup
Frozen lima beans 1¾ cups
Tomatoes 16-ounce can
Onions, chopped ⅔ cup
Corn, frozen 1¾ cups
Salt ½ teaspoon
Pepper ⅛ teaspoon
Poultry seasoning ⅛ teaspoon
Water ¼ cup
Flour 2 tablespoons

Simmer chicken in salted water until tender. Drain, save broth. Separate the meat from the skin and bones and cut meat into pieces as desired.

Skim fat from broth. The fat can be skimmed more easily if the broth is chilled enough to solidify the fat.

Add potatoes to broth and simmer 5 minutes.

Add lima beans, tomatoes, and onions. Simmer 7 minutes.

Add chicken, corn, and seasonings. Cook 3 minutes longer.

Mix ¼ cup water with flour until smooth. Add to stew and heat just long enough to thicken, stirring as needed.
