Lemon Chicken with Sauteed Winter Greens

Another entree from the cookbook, "1 Pan, 2 Plates." This cookbook is full of delicious healthy recipes....can you tell I am loving it?  Tonight's meal is a great combination of chicken, greens, and a bright lemon sauce.  It all comes together in close to 30 minutes!

2 chicken breast or 4 chicken tenderloins
2 T. olive oil
1 shallot, diced
1 bunch of chard, stems removed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. chicken broth or white wine
zest from 1/2 a lemon
juice from 1/2 a lemon
2 T. butter
1 t. parsley

Pound chicken with a meat mallot to 1/2". Heat olive oil in large skillet.  Add chicken.  Cook 3 minutes on one side.  Flip and cook 2 minutes on the other side.  Remove chicken from a pan.  Add shallot and garlic, cook for 2 minutes.  Add chard.  Cook until the chard wilts.  Add chicken broth.  Cover and cook simmering for 5 minutes.  Stir in lemon and zest.  Serve chicken over the greens.
