Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

SUPER EASY SOUTHERN OKRA SUCCOTASH



Super Easy Southern Okra Succotash image

This is one time that frozen vegetables work better than fresh. You can play with different spices if you like, it's very forgiving. A finely diced Jalapeno is good for a little bite. Butter works well to replace the bacon drippings, or you can live longer (if not better) and skip the fat all together! Add Sausage and serve over rice for a great main dish! Update! I've made this often substituting fresh okra, but I just made it for the first time with fresh corn right off the cob. I added the corn raw a little before the okra and just heated it through. It was fantastic! Crisp and sweet!

MOM'S SAUSAGE SUCCOTASH



Mom's Sausage Succotash image

Not sure if there are any okra fans out here, but I LOVE the stuff. Growing up in the South, there was always okra around when the garden started producing, and this was a favorite of mine!! This is my Mom's Sausage Succotash, made healthier with turkey sausage. I sometimes swap out veggies, like a poblano for the green pepper, but usually I add what is listed. I also make a vegetarian version I will post as well.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (14 ounce) package smoked turkey sausage, sliced in rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cups fresh tomatoes, diced or 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups okra, chopped (can be fresh or frozen)
1 cup fresh corn (could use frozen or can)
1 cup fresh zucchini
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken or 1 cup vegetable broth
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's BOLD Creole Seasoning)
2 dashes hot sauce, to taste plus some to serve
cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Brown sausage, onion, celery, and peppers in oil.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer covered 20-30 minutes until okra is tender.
  • Taste the broth about 10 minutes into cooking, and add more seasoning to taste.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly brown the chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken and vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will help to ensure that the chicken is juicy and flavorful.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are tender. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are cooked through and flavorful.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Pressed chicken with okra succotash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. This dish is also a good source of protein and fiber.
