Tuscan Lemon Herb Chicken with Garlic Sautéed Greens

Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

• 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
• 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. 02
   Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. 03
   Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden.
4. 04
   Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and let it rest while you prepare the greens.
5. 05
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. 06
   Add the chopped kale and Swiss chard to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. Cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt.
7. 07
   Serve the lemon herb chicken alongside the garlic sautéed greens. Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
