Clean Eating Chicken & Chard Recipe

I love making these sorts of recipes for dinner. They are simple, nutritious and easy to make.

This dish is no exception. You make this all in one large skillet, and before you know it, you have a lovely meal on the table. If you don’t have chard handy, kale or spinach will work as well. But if you have kids and they aren’t used to kale, opt for the spinach. Basically, any green will work well here.
