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.
-
While the succotash is cooking, toss chicken in flour (in a mixing bowl or plastic bag).
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the herb butter to the hot pan. Sear chicken on both sides, ~2 minutes per side.
-
Add remaining herb butter to pan and scatter tomatoes around chicken. Saute everything together until tomatoes are falling apart and chicken is cooked through (and reaches an internal temperature of 165F / 74C).
-
Enjoy chicken with tomatoes and sauce spooned over top and succotash on the side!

The chicken tasted like a restaurant quality meal. Really delicious. And super simple if you make the butter ahead.
0 HelpfulMade veggies and meat version. Both were delicious. Skipped the succotash and just heated up some corn as kids were having meltdowns as I was cooking. 4 year old loved it (except for the tomato skins🤷♀️) and the baby eats everything so he was also satisfied. Good for easy weeknight or company. On our make again lust
0 HelpfulDelicious! Used TJ’s frozen roasted corn and canned Lima beans. Added a little broth to the chicken and tomatoes to keep from browning too much.
0 HelpfulFantastic meal!! Bought chicken tenders (raw) so that helped this meal come together more quickly!
