Chicken & Mushrooms with Swiss Chard

Boneless skinless chicken breast with white wine mushrooms and Swiss chard.
This is a 30 minute meal- pretty easy peasy.  Preheat the oven to 400 (I know it’s summer, but our grill is charcoal so not really week night user friendly).  You start out with the chicken and make a slurry (fat and flour).  To make the slurry, I use a gluten free flour mix with rice, sorghum, millet, and potato flours; it only takes a heaping spoonful.  Mix it with about two tablespoons olive oil and seasonings you like.  Stab the thick end of the chicken breast and then coat it with the slurry.  Pan fry until brown on both sides and then toss in the oven.  Once the chicken’s in the oven add white wine to the pan and scrape up the brown bits.  Add the mushrooms some salt and some pepper then cover until the mushrooms are tender.  Once they are soft, remove the lid and let the wine reduce.  While that’s going on sauté the Swiss chard with some olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Once all the veggies are done, the chicken should be done too (but check internal temp).  Voila!  It’s all done in 30 minutes.  Adjust the portions to make one, two, or four+ servings.
