Nutrition Facts
Prep
- Onions - Chop onions. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Corn / Tomatoes - If using frozen corn, defrost. If using fresh corn, slice kernels off cobs. Slice tomatoes in half. Store separately. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Make herb butter - Chop garlic and cilantro. Heat butter (portion for scramble) in the microwave just until softened and starting to melt. Combine butter with garlic, cilantro, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Eggs - Whisk eggs.
- Lima beans - Defrost lima beans if using frozen.
Make
- In a saucepan, combine lima beans, water, and butter (portion for succotash). Cover and cook over medium-high heat until lima beans are tender (~10 minutes for fresh and ~5 minutes for frozen). Remove the cover and continue cooking until excess water has cooked off. Add onions and corn and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender, ~3 minutes. Add lemon juice. Season with some salt and pepper. Set aside, covered.
- Place a skillet over high heat. Add herb butter and, once melted, add tomatoes. Saute until tomatoes begin to blacken in spots, ~4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add eggs and gently fold into filling. Cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are cooked through but still tender, ~5 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Serve eggs with succotash on the side.

Good quick meal! Really liked the butter on the zucchini sauté.
The flavor of this was good overall, but - here’s a thing I never thought I’d say! - I think I’d prefer a less buttery sauce.
My new favorite quick weeknight meal!
Pretty good. I had to add a lot of salt to the succotash before I liked it.
I love the flavor of the chicken. I don't love the succotash so I would sub a different veggie next time.
Delicious! I would double the zucchini next time. I used 2 pounds of chicken and it was a perfect amount for 2 adults and 2 big eater kids (plus a baby :) ).
