Steps:
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil; squeeze in lemon juice and add lemon slices, peppercorns, and a splash of olive oil. Add chicken. Reduce heat and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain and discard everything except the chicken; let cool.
- While chicken cooks, chop broccoli rabe. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook uncovered until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a stew pot over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, shallots, and garlic and cook and stir until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low. Stir in oregano, basil, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until a paste-like mixture forms, adding more olive oil if needed. Pour in vegetable stock and raise heat to medium-high. Stir in tomato paste and bring to a simmer.
- While the stew simmers, pull the cooled chicken off of the bones, discarding any skin and fat.
- Stir chicken meat into the stew, followed by mint. Let simmer until desired thickness is reached, about 1 hour, stirring in broccoli rabe, chickpeas, and corn during the last 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
