2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven pot over medium heat. Then add onions, garlic, and thyme, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Next, add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, and Creole seasoning. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Then add in shredded cooked chicken and pulled pork, and continue cooking for about 8-10 minutes.
Finally, add the sweet corn, lima beans, and okra and continue cooking for 5-7 more minutes or to desired consistency. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley, serve warm, and enjoy.

Notes

If the stew becomes too thick, add more broth a little at a time until you get the desired consistency.
