Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and brown the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pot. Meanwhile, start preparing the shallots and sweet potato.
2
Prep and cook the shallots and sweet potato
- Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
- Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato into ½-inch pieces.
In the same pot used for the chicken, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften and brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sweet potato and ¼ cup [½ cup] white wine (from your pantry) or water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until the potato starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the braise
- Remove and discard any coarse stems from the chard; coarsely chop the leaves and tender stems.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
To the pot with the sweet potato, add the chicken and any accumulated juices, chard leaves and tender stems, tomato sauce, vinegar blend, and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the potato and chard are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to individual plates, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
