Ingredients

8 servings

•

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into large pieces
•

1 pound boneless pork chops, cut into large pieces
•

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
•

1 (15 ounce) package frozen corn
•

1 (15 ounce) package frozen lima beans
•

1 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce

•

1 cup diced onion
•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

1 teaspoon kosher salt
•

0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
•

1 (32 ounce) container chicken stock

Instructions

Combine chicken, pork, tomatoes, corn, lima beans, barbecue sauce, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large, resealable freezer bag. Seal the bag and mix the contents until well combined. Freeze for up to one month.
When ready to cook, remove bag from the freezer and allow contents to partially thaw until they can be broken apart, about 1 hour.
Empty the bag into a Dutch oven and add chicken stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, until the stew has thickened slightly and the meat shreds easily with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours.
Remove meat and shred with a fork. Return meat to the pot and serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
