Method

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 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. 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. 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. 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. 7

    Taste and adjust salt, cayenne, or cumin as needed.

  8. 8

    Ladle hot into bowls and serve with cornbread.
