Braised Chicken with Swiss Chard and Apples

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 180g each)
• 0.5 tsp ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 tbsp olive oil + 2 tsp
• 2 Gala apples, sliced
• 1 red onion, chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 0.5 cups lightly salted chicken broth
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped (separate leaves and stems)

Preparation:

1. Rub the chicken with 0.5 teaspoon salt, a pinch of black pepper, allspice, and turmeric. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. Add the apples, onion, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
3. Add lemon juice to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, for 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Arrange the chicken on top of the apple mixture. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly, 6 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in another large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.
5. Add the chard stems and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Then add the chard leaves; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken and apples.
