Chicken Succotash Skillet Recipe – Simply Southern Mom (2024)

Written by Pam Published on September 20, 2017

Last week I took a trip to Silver Dollar City where I was encouraged to sample lots of food. Lots and lots of food. It was all delicious, but one dish stood out to us, “The Silver Dollar City Succotash recipe.” Prepared in giant skillets, these dishes come in several flavors. Our favorite was a combination of chicken and veggies. Wewere able to take pictures of ourselves “stirring” the ingredients in one of the giant skillets. This allowed us to claim we had a hand in helping make the dish, although we didn’t. Thankfully, Silver Dollar City provided us with the recipe, assuring us it was “one of their most popular.” I think you’ll see why when you taste it!

Thanks to Silver Dollar City for the day at the park, the wonderful food, and the recipe!

Naturally, I made some changes to the recipe to make it gluten-freeand ensure it was dairy-free. If you don’t have to worry about food allergies, feel free to use breaded okra and add a handful of shredded cheese. You can’t go wrong with shredded cheese. I also made a larger batch of the recipe. The leftovers are good to take for lunch. I like to serve my succotash over rice, but that’s totally optional. Tip: You can use fresh or frozen veggiesin this dish. Or, if you are in a hurry, use canned vegetables. This is a quick and easy meal that the family will actually eat!
