Bring 4 cups water and 1 cup chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Whisk in the grits in a steady stream, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the grits are thick and creamy and pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25–30 minutes.
