Ingredients
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 pounds total)
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1 cup chopped onion, use a sweet variety such as Vidalia
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 sweet red pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    2 cups frozen corn, thawed
    2 cups frozen lima beans, thawed
    3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (good, as Ina would would say ,-)
    1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
    1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Preparation
    Mix together 1 tablespoon chili powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the chicken pieces.
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook 7-8 minutes per side until browned and juices run clear. Remove from skillet and tent loosely with foil.
    In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and onions. Saute for 3 minutes then add red peppers and garlic. Continue cooking until onion is tender; about 5 minutes.
    Add corn, lima beans, remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder and the vinegar. Cook for 5 minutes. Add broth (or water) and parsley. Heat through.
    To serve, place a bed of succotash on a plate and top with whole or sliced chicken breasts.
