One-Pan Chicken Legs with Butter Beans and Tomatoes Recipe is Simply Delicious
This flavorful dish is satisfying and nutritious — and preps in just minutes
I’m always looking for new ways to cook chicken, so I was excited when our test kitchen came up with this chicken legs with butter beans and tomatoes recipe. It’s a clever combination of three healthy (and tasty!) ingredients — chicken legs, which stay juicy and tender during cooking; cherry tomatoes that literally burst with flavor; and butter beans. If you’re wondering what butter beans are, I had the same question! It turns out that butter beans are the same thing as lima beans (who knew?) and they have a creamy texture and a buttery flavor. They’re delicious in soups and stews as well as dishes like our chicken legs recipe.
Butter beans are nutritious, too — one cup contains 12 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber. In our recipe, the beans soak up the zesty flavor of the tomatoes and add a delicious element to the roasted chicken legs. Yum! Even better, this meal is quick and easy to prep.
