Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 boneless chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms, and 1 chopped shallot. Sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and soften.
Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer mushroom mixture to a blender, add 1/4 cup heavy cream, and blend until smooth.
Step 4: In the skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1 bunch Swiss chard (leaves cut into 1-inch ribbons, stalks sliced) and sauté for 4-5 minutes until wilted and tender.
Step 5: Serve the chicken on a bed of mushroom purée with Swiss chard on the side.
