Cook chicken in a large pot over medium heat until no longer pink, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove chicken, shred, and set aside.

In the same pot, cook pork and beef until browned, about 10 minutes.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in vegetable broth, tomato sauce, corn, green beans, and potatoes.

Add shredded chicken back to the pot along with barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

Serve hot with cornbread or biscuits.
