Hurricane Patti's Chicken Stew

Patti’s Hurricane Chicken Stew

Servings about 10

Well, the first named hurricane of the 2014 season is headed directly toward us!  The rain is coming down in torrents and the wind is blowing fiercely but we still have power so I'm gonna make some chicken stew... enough to feed a crowd!  Here's what I conconted from ingredients that I had on hand in the fridge and pantry.  It's sort of like a Brunswick stew and is truly a one pot dinner.  

1  2 ½  pound package Costco vacuum packed rotisserie chicken chunks

1 large Vidalia onion, chopped

3 15-oz cans diced tomatoes with green chilis, undrained

1 package Simply Potatoes O’Brien hash browns

1 package frozen corn kernels

1 package frozen lima beans (I used fresh picked)

1 32-ounce carton chicken broth

1 Tablespoon Willie’s Hog Dust seasoning blend (or your favorite spices)

¼ cup favorite bbq sauce (I used hickory flavored)

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Place all in 6-quart slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Stir to blend and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.  Serve with fresh baked crusty bread or garlic cheddar biscuits!  All you need to complete the dinner is a green salad or perhaps cole slaw!
