A delicious take on a classic vegetable. Kale and Corn Succotash with Tomatoes. Perfect side dish for chicken or seafood. Fast and easy to make.
We do love vegetables in our house and my Kale and Corn Succotash was a nice change from our normal vegetable selection. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Not only was my side beautiful, it was healthy and delicious!
For a quick and easy dinner I came up with a healthy and delicious side dish, Kale and Corn Succotash to go along with my stuffed chicken breasts. As always I start off my gathering my ingredients setting up my mise en place (everything in its place).
With my stuffed chicken breasts in the oven, I started to make my kale and corn succotash.
It only took a few minutes to prepare the succotash and in 35 – 40 minutes, I had dinner on the table.

Thank you thank you thank you Dennis, I made this side dish with your Marsala wine chicken, it was so good, unfortunately husband at work and I was eating by myself, he will eat tomorrow. I was so tired with my cooking and since I found you I’m enjoying cooking, first time cooked with wine.

I’m not opposed to making convenience meals at all, Dennis. The first night I arrived home last week I ‘made’ Russ lasagne out of a box from the freezer. (Which he enjoyed tremendously.) It bought me 45 minutes’ worth of “kitchen cleanup” after his 6 weeks of bachelorhood, lol! Your succotash looks like a “winner, winner chicken dinner” with Barber’s stuffed chicken breasts, or any other number of “mains” I can think of… YUM. Fresh and vibrant!
