Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans
  • ¼ cup milk
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place the lima beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drain the soaked lima beans and cook according to package directions.
  • Blend the cooked lima beans and milk together in a blender until smooth; season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes more. Stir the zucchini, tomato, cumin, and cayenne pepper into the chicken; cook until the vegetables are slightly tender, about 7 minutes more. Spread the mixture into the bottom of an 11x7-inch baking dish; pour the lima bean mixture over the chicken and vegetables in a single, smooth layer. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
