Method
- 1
Melt the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- 2
Add the onion, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- 3
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste and form a light roux.
- 4
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring to smooth out any lumps, then stir in the chicken base, cumin, and cayenne.
- 5
Add the chopped chicken breast, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender.
- 6
Stir in the lima beans, pimientos, and parsley, and simmer for 15 more minutes to let the flavors meld and the stew thicken slightly.
- 7
Taste and adjust salt, cayenne, or cumin as needed.
- 8
Ladle hot into bowls and serve with cornbread.
