Grilled Chicken and Chard Salad
- 2 boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon Basic Rub (see Notes)
- 1 bunch of red Swiss chard (12 to 16 ounces)
- 1 large Spanish-style white onion
- 1/4 cup Cilantro Salsa (see Notes) or Tomatillo Salsa (see Notes)
- Trim the chicken, removing all fat and membrane.
- Rinse, pat dry, and evenly sprinkle with rub and rub into surfaces of chicken.
- Rinse the chard and cut into 2-inch-wide strips.
- Slice the onion in half lengthwise, then cut it crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- Preheat a large, heavy, well-seasoned skillet until hot.
- If necessary, spray the skillet with nonstick oil.
- Grill the onion for about 3 minutes; stir until the edges blacken somewhat.
- Stir and push the onions to the side and add the chicken breast.
- Cook for 4 minutes, then turn the chicken and cook for another 4 minutes.
- When the onion is somewhat soft and the edges are browned, remove from the skillet.
- Place the chard in the skillet off to one side.
- Check for chicken doneness by pressing with your finger.
- The chicken should be firm to the touch and, when sliced, white inside.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board.
- Cover the skillet and sear the chard until some of the leaves are blackened, and wilted on the edges.
- To serve, arrange the chard in a strip down the center of each plate.
- Arrange the onion in a row on each side of the chard.
- Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch-wide slices and center it in a row on the chard.
- Top with the salsa.
