Easily make this hearty stew for all to love! This vegan version is inspired by the southern barbecue favorite from Brunswick County, Georgia. It's full of healthy vegetables and has the most comforting smoky flavor.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and then add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften.
Stir in the garlic. Let it cook for a minute or two as it becomes fragrant. Pour in a little bit of broth and use its steam to deglaze the pot by scraping at the bits on the bottom.
Add in all of the remaining ingredients except for the vegan chicken. Stir everything together. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat level to medium and cover the pot.
Stir occasionally as this cooks for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes and lima beans are tender.
Chop the frozen vegan chicken and stir it into the pot. Cook the stew for 5 more minutes as the vegan chicken heats through. Enjoy!
