1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans
1/4 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
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

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.

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.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.
