Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) sweet corn kernels, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) cooked lima beans, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
2 cups peeled pearl onions, thawed if frozen
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot, or to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper and sear in the same skillet, stirring, until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, lima beans, pearl onions, hot sauce, and cream, and cook until simmering. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper; stir in the reserved bacon and serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 ounces pepper-jack cheese, shredded
2 cups baby arugula, roughly chopped
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (12 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
Vegetable oil, for the grill
1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
1 medium yellow summer squash, diced
2 cups corn kernels
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

Combine the cheese and arugula in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast with a paring knife. Stuff with the arugula mixture. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and the Cajun spice blend.
Preheat a grill to high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until blackened and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the lima beans, squash and corn, season with salt and cook until the squash is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Slice the chicken and serve with the succotash
