Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

- 1 can (14.5 oz) canned diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups frozen lima beans
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1
Set a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and let it warm for 1 minute until a single drop of water sizzles and disappears when flicked inside.
- 2
Pour the 2 cups of chicken broth into the hot pot, then add the shredded rotisserie chicken and pulled pork, stirring once to distribute the meat evenly.
- 3
Add the can of diced tomatoes (with all its liquid) and the frozen lima beans, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- 4
Increase the heat to high and bring the stew to a boil, watching for vigorous bubbles breaking across the entire surface, about 3 minutes.
- 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer gently (small bubbles slowly breaking the surface) for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- 6
Taste a spoonful of the broth and stir in a pinch of salt and pepper, tasting again to adjust seasoning until it tastes savory and satisfying to you.
- 7
Ladle the stew into bowls, making sure each bowl gets meat, beans, and broth in equal measure.
