Method
Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch Oven over medium heat and cook the onion, celery and green pepper for 7 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken thighs, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 74°C.
Lift out the chicken and shred it with two forks, then return it to the pot along with the lima beans and sweetcorn.
Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened, then season with salt and black pepper.
