Crispy Chicken Cutlets with Swiss Chard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 20 shredded-wheat crackers, such as Triscuits
- 2 1/2 cups cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- 2 bunches of Swiss chard (about 2 1/2 pounds), stems removed and leaves torn
- Lemon wedges, mustard, and/or hot sauce, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Brush a large baking sheet with olive oil.
- In a food processor, pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs.
- Add the cornflakes and pulse until finely ground; transfer to a wide, shallow bowl.
- Stir in the sesame seeds, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In another wide, shallow bowl, whisk the yogurt with the mustard and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
- Dredge 1 chicken thigh in the yogurt mixture, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl, then coat the chicken with the cracker mixture, pressing to help the crumbs adhere.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat until the garlic is softened, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chard and cook, stirring, until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Transfer the chard to plates along with the chicken and serve with lemon wedges, mustard and/or hot sauce.
