Chicken Sausage Succotash

Succotash is terrific way to use up leftovers in the kitchen. Basically, a large one skillet dinner, this meal can combine any number of vegetables and meat. What makes it particularly delicious is the combination of savoury Herbes de Provence, sweet brown sugar and rich butter. A meal not to be missed!
