Chicken With Swiss Chard, Lemon and Rosemary Recipe

Chicken With Swiss Chard, Lemon and Rosemary

Homemakers Best Tested

Swiss chard is one of the best sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. The red variety also provides beta carotene – either work well in this recipe.

Ingredients

1 bunch (about 1-1/4 lbs/625 g) Swiss chard
4 (about 1lb/500g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  salt
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  pepper
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tsp  (10 mL)  fresh rosemary, chopped or 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried
2 tsp  (10 mL)  lemon rind, grated
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  lemon juice

Preparation

Strip Swiss chard leaves from stems; trim ends and chop stems and leaves separately and set aside.

Sprinkle half of the salt and pepper on chicken. Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken, turning once, for about 10 to 12 minutes or just until no longer pink inside. Transfer to a plate.

Add remaining oil, salt and pepper, garlic and onion to skillet. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until softened.

Stir in Swiss chard stems; cook for 2 minutes. Add leaves, rosemary and lemon rind and cook, stirring, until just wilted enough to cover pan.

Nestle chicken into pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until chicken is hot and chard is tender. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
