Love & Best Dishes: Chicken Brunswick Stew Recipe 

Do y'all make a lot of soups and stews this time of year?

I love these type videos over television episodes; it's more personal.

I love you so much I have chronic depression and anxiety so I sit and watch all ur cooking shows ur voice and laugh warms my heart and calms and brightens my day! I so wish I could afford one of ur cook books! Just wanted you to know how much you calm my soul!

Watched the video and said, "my final leftovers from a roasted chicken"; my vet retired and she is raising chickens now.... Did not have butter beans except dried (too much work). Your uncle will be really rolling over my version, but Brunswick Stew was whatever you had...so cannellini beans it was. Chicken broth from that roasted chicken. Bacon and onions; had some of the small sweet peppers (why not). No celery salt, but chopped up some celery. Then added diced tomatoes (what I had), a can of corn and the last of my okra. The W sauce, just a bit of liquid smoke, the chicken and then for BBQ sauce a bit of my Carolina (that's North) vinegar and red pepper sauce. It is still simmering on the stove, but my is the broth tasty. You were right about the liquid smoke--just a bit. Think I'll make some cornbread to go w/ it tonight for dinner. It is cold an rainy here in northern WV today....perfect stew weather.

My mother got married in 1956 and as a wedding present received a Joy of cooking cookbook from that time.. Many of the dishes within that cookbook are very complex. Not a complex dish but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Corned Beef and cabbage with Potatoes and carrots. The Joy of cooking cookbook had a suggestion of making cornmeal dumplings as a compliment to the corned beef and cabbage meal. I Loved it. I only mean this from a good place a lot of the millennials and younger people do not like very complex meals but with your intelligence and years of cooking you might be able to make some of these dishes from that cookbook easy, convenient, and the same. I would buy that cook book!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I love your kitchen witch, sitting on the fireplace!!

My father loved watching Paula Deen`s cooking show. He is long gone but I find myself watching Paula and thinking of my Dad. Thank you Paula

Don't forget the cornbread muffins and lots of butter!

I am behind 😂 Thanks Paula. Think I told you before that my grand daughter got me hooked one you, I actually bought her your cookbook for children when she was 9 years old I believe.

Enjoy your cooking videos so much! This stew looks so delicious. A great meal for a cold day. Thank you for sharing👍❤️

I love your little witch beside the fireplace. She's adorable 😍

Hi Miss Paula. We're gonna love this stew, but we love you more sweet southern lady. 👍💕💕💕

This is going to be my dinner tonight thank you Mrs. Paula it looks delicious.

I I had to come back and search for this video. It’s exactly what I was looking for for this chilly weather. I’ll be making this in the morning

I ate this alllll the time as a little boy in eastern NC. There was always potatoes in the kind we'd have, and always served alongside corn sticks, barbecue, and fried chicken! Quite the spread, I know.

ur voice and laugh warms my heart and calms and brightens my day! I enjoy listening to your stories as growing up . have a great day all of you guys.

Yum, another delicious dinner item. Thanks, have a great day

Have never had Brunswick stew and the few recipes I've seen seem like they took so much stuff may try this one I think my boys are like it a lot

I love Brunswick stew so much. Growing up in Atlanta Old Hickory House THE best around. I miss their Brunswick stew. Will definitely try your version.

The best Brunswick stew I ever had came from Albany, Ga. Some restaurant made it, and they sold it in quarts, etc, to go. My brother’s girlfriend at the time brought it to the holiday meal. I didn’t want to eat anything else! This was about 25 years ago. I’ll have to try your recipe here in Texas.

Nothin wrong with the old ways… nothing went to waste. Thank you for sharing that story with us

My daddy's from Savannah and I always love when he goes back home to visit because he always brings back lots of Brunswick stew and crab meat 😍😍😍

Love it! I’ll be making this easy version soon! My recipe takes half a day! Thanks Paula. ❤️

FYI.. Brunswick stew was invented here in VA, in Brunswick county

Never heard of this New Brunswick #stew, being born and raised in California, but I enjoy all types of soups and stews. I'll be saving this to a "super soups" playlist! Funny thing is, I never liked #limabeans as a child lol.

GM, EVERYONE. The soup looks 😋

This time of year I do begin to make more soups and stews Chili. I also start making homage Enchilada Casseroles. ShepherdsPie as well. I love the change of seasons. I can change receipes nust like I change my wardrobe and to me that's always fun. I lo e adding a new twist to liven up a old but classic receipe. Keeps things lively. Cheers Paula Deen. Love all of you soooo much. Thanks for inviting us into your kitchen and sharing your family stories. Reminds me of my own experience with my family. Them was some precious times.

I love your brunswick stew recipe! Yours is the BEST! I've made it to many times to count. I usually use pork and maybe chicken but my family loves it! Thank you for sharing it!

Oh Lord, this ain't my grandmama's brunswick stew...BUT appreciate your throw down quick version....thanks for sharing

Hi Paula. Once again, a great recipe which I can’t wait to try! (BTW, your delicious shrimp Creole slow cooker recipe is now a staple in our house). One quick thing about the smoky taste. I use homemade chicken broth in my soups and stews that have been made with a chicken that’s been smoked in my smoker. So, the broth is infused with the taste of hickory, mesquite, and cherry wood chips. Can’t wait to use it in this recipe! Thank you!

My grandmother and me always fixed this all time we eat this alot everybody loved it.🎃🍁🤣😀

This Chicken Brunswick Stew recipe looks so delicious Paula.

I was thinking liquid smoke and wala! Paula said liquid smoke 💨! I love these videos so much. A million times better than the tv shows. Paul is so relaxed and we are all just hanging out with her in a personal setting. Love you Paula!

Paula, was that Hickory or mesquite liquid smoke?

I wish I could just hang out with you and just come over to see what you are cooking and listen to your story all day long!!!✌✌✌✌✌❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩

That looks so delicious Paula! I add a small amount of diced potatoes to mine and have not tried with bacon or barbecue sauce and use whole kernel corn. I’ll try yours next time but leave the potatoes in. Thank you for sharing.

Sounds so much like my own childhood experiences, I will be 80 in March and it is so hard to believe all the advances I have seen, and, or been a part of. Love you.

My Mom uses pork sausage instead of bacon PLUS whole kernel corn in addition to the cream corn.

My granddaddy used own a grocery store for the farmers in the area and I used to like the red cheese❤

My mother, from Virginia, made hers the same way, but added potatoes. I miss her!

I remember that red hoop cheese, the best

She's right it usually takes a long time to cook the real brunswick stew. I've never seen anyone cook the hog head though. 😳😁 We used pork , beef and chicken. Then add tomatoes, potatoes ( cut up into small pieces so they'll fall apart faster) , corn and we make our on BBQ sauce, but ya don't have to. A lot folks love chicken stew and I like that too, but I'd rather have BBQ and brunswick stew when it starts to get colder outside. I'm going to save this recipe cause I want to try it. A quicker way that's for sure. 😉😊🍂🍁🌻🌼👍❤

This looks so delicious I'm going to try this over the holidays! I have never tried Liquid Smoke but I will make this recipe to the T! I love watching your videos and most importantly I love to hear you laugh!👍♥️♥️♥️

Looks delicious! Enjoyed.

Just finishing making Chicken Brunswick Stew. It is simmering now. Can't wait. We have our spoons in our fists

I like to smoke my pork and chicken! But this looks tasty for a quick recipe!

I just love you Paula!!!! Do you ever visit Branson? I can't afford to go anywhere else to see you. I took my family to Savannah years ago but the wait to get in Lady and Sons was so long so we had to skip.We haven't been back since. But I do believe that is where I want to retire.

Yum

One of my favs! ❤️ Delicious!!

Paula, I am from NYC and am not familiar with many of your delicious recipes. Thank you for sharing your reminisces and food with your video friends.

This is a wonderful recipe! Thank you for a quick Brunswick Stew recipe. I would use some liquid smoke.

Always love watching you Paula, and trying you recipes out!

That sounds delicious Paula❤

I have the same memories Paula. They are precious

I live in southern VA, just a few counties over from Brunswick County, VA …where claims are deeply made for the origins of the tradition. We always add kernel corn along with the baby green butter beans. Many churches, fire departments, VFW lodges etc. hold “ stews” and sell it fir fund raising….huge outdoor kettles and a long process. Used to contain squirrel or rabbit but now chicken is the usual. No bbq sauce that I know if but it does have that sweet kick from the ingredients they use. I love a smaller stovetop version!

I love you. I love your recipes. I love watching you 💖 I just made your chicken brunswick stew with my homemade Carolina bbq sauce. Paula NOM NOM 😋 it is a hit in our house! Honestly the best brunswicK stew I have ever had.

Super tasty recipe😋👌 Looks so yummy ❤❤

Absolutely enjoyed this video. Brunswick stew just looked sooooo hearty and tasty for a crisp Autumn Dinner. I will definitely try this and maybe make some cornbread to go with it. P.S. how do I get your Magazine? Thanks In advance..

Love it , love it. Love you Paula, Thank you for sharing.

I am always cook my butter beans first with bacon grease first ❤

Happy Saturday morning Ms. Paula and friends!!!👋🏽🌻 That looks good. I would probably let that simmer for an hour or so. But if we used a Boston butt, do you use the pulled roasted meat instead of chicken?

I love your youtube channel.

I can’t wait to see you cook in that fireplace sometime or have a cozy fire going in the kitchen with you 🔥

I also have memories of my Georgia relatives cooking Brunswick Stew with whole hog on an open flame! ( I think you and I are the same age, Paula; and from Albany!). I can’t wait to to try this easy recipe. When my family has our annual Butt Cooking on our outside Pitt, this is what I’m going to serve! It will go great with Boston Butt sandwiches! 🥰

Your kitchen witch is awesome!

Such a sweet lady!

According to ATK, an additive is added to chopped tomatoes to keep them firm. ATK doesn't think much of them either.

Hi Paula,I have my ingredients waiting.YUM😋

“Butter beans”

I'm not a fan of lima beans, is there a different bean I could use. I would really like to make this, thank you for sharing

You and Alton were the only two I like on Food Network. What's life without BUTTER!!

I’m so glad you are still kicking it and they couldn’t beat you down and there are many many folks that think as I do. I’m gonna make this and make a mess of House Autry Hushpuppies to munch on for southern appetizers and to crumble into the stew. We love you.

Always use Butter ❤

I love your top Paula!!!

Yum!

What we every do without bacon❤

The Hoop Cheese is the best.

Brunswick County in VA is the best!!

Paula I buy Brunswick stew from a local fast food place I love it, every other type I have tried is terrible, is there a recipe pureed that doesnt have as much tomato sauce as recipe calls for as the tomato is what i dislike in it

Paula, what do you do with all of these big wonderful meals on the days that you all are cranking out these videos?

We love you Paula here in Deep Run, NC

🤗🤗🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hearty ❤️

Hey Paula

I use to butcher with my dad,first time I seen someone chop a hogs head in half ,I just about passed out. Nothing better than hog meat.

I enjoy you Paula Deen

What happened to the white potatoes that's the kicker I don't do beans we call that Brunswick soup over here 😁

❤️❤️❤️

Can you just put the recipe in the body of the description box so Paula doesn't have to keep guessing the measurements?

Paula Dean is so pretty. I love her hair.

I love you Paula 😘

Those diced tomatoes are processed using calcium chloride to keep them firm, that's why they will never break down. Gotta wonder what else is in canned ingredients....🤔

No I’ve never used liquid smoke. Growing up my mother and grandmother didn’t like it so I guess that’s why.🤷‍♀️
