Make

  1. In a saucepan, combine lima beans, water and butter. 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 mint and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, covered.
  2. While the succotash is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the herb butter to the hot pan. Cook chicken until it's no longer pink or to 165F / 74C, ~4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to serving dish.
  3. Increase heat to high, and add add remaining herb butter and tomatoes to pan. Saute until tomatoes begin to blacken in spots, ~4 minutes. Enjoy chicken with tomatoes over top and succotash on the side!
