 By the way, if anyone has a favorite, baked or sautéed chicken breast recipe, I'm all ears. I like to make several at the beginning of the week, so that I can take some to work to add to my lunch, and then have an easy dinner one night for the family ( usually a chicken-topped salad). But, I've tried so many, and none are as fabulous as I want them to be!

I cook a lot of chicken will look at some of my recipes to share. Thank you for sharing yours.

Love your recipe.  I will try this one also.  Sounds like a zero point meal excluding ham. Ham does add a little kick. I will use a little ham.

I picked swiss chard from the garden this morning.  I am going to use this quick recipe for lunch.

A Very Healthy Green.  Anti-inflammatory.

Easy Swiss Chard Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Yield: Serves 2-4 (depending on the amount of chard)

The coriander seeds are optional because not everyone has them in their spice rack. But if you do, please use them! Coriander is wonderful with chard.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large bunch of fresh Swiss chard
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of whole coriander seeds (optional)

1 Prep the chard stalks and leaves: Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Either tear or cut away the thick stalks from the leaves.

Cut the stalk pieces into 1-inch pieces. Chop the leaves into inch-wide strips. Keep the stalks and leaves separate.

2 Sauté garlic and crushed red pepper flakes: Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add garlic slices, crushed red pepper, and coriander seeds (if using), and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant.

3 Add Swiss chard stalks: Add the chopped Swiss chard stalks. Lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

4 Add the chopped leaves: Add the chopped chard leaves, toss with the oil and garlic in the pan. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Turn the leaves and the stalks over in the pan.

If the chard still needs a bit more cooking (remove a piece and taste it), cover and cook a few more minutes.

Serve immediately.

Im gonna try this. I have never cooked with Chard. Is it a Kale tasting  type?

[JACKIE1-25-15]

Kale, spinach type.

[Mandolinrain]

yeah I know, but I thought it tasted sorta like chard ...dunno why

[JACKIE1-25-15]

The stems are a little sweet.  Sometimes the leaves can be a bit bitter like beet greens or spinach.
