Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 bunch of chard
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Start by washing and patting dry the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the chard. Wash it thoroughly and remove the stems. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the chard and sauté for a few minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Sprinkle the chard with sugar and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sugar to caramelize and coat the chard.
- Once the chard is tender and slightly caramelized, return the chicken to the skillet and let it all simmer together for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the Southern Skillet Chicken with Chard hot, with any pan juices spooned over the top.
