Ingredients

Olive oil, for pan
1 cup bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch lengths, leaves cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Kosher salt

Directions

Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil and add the diced bacon, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to medium-high heat. When the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, remove from the pan and discard. At this point the bacon should start to become brown and crispy. Add the Swiss chard stems and the stock and cook until the stock has mostly evaporated. Add the Swiss chard leaves and saute until they are wilted. Season with salt.

Outstanding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very very good recipe. We did not have red pepper flakes so we used a few dashes of chili powder. The bacon makes it very... salty so they extra salt is not really needed. I think that we may reduce the amount of bacon next time to cut the fat.Read more

careful addin stock
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

anne burrell is an amazin chef and in this recipe she remains true to form - word of caution, add the stock sparingly... otherwise you'll loose the delicious crispness of the bacon and wind up with a soggy mess ... Read more

Great flavors but reduced the fat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Chard is hands down my favorite leafy green to cook and I use it often. Thiis was a great recipe to try and the flavors of... the bacon and garlic together with the chard were delicious. But I could tell from the "get go" that there was going to be too much fat in the dish for my husband's and my palates so we drained off some of the bacon fat before adding in the chard stems. The outcome was very good and we think leaving all the fat in the dish would have taken away from the flavor of the chard. We also found that we only needed about half as much chicken broth as the recipe specified. Read more

I made the chard recipe last night and it was delicious! I substituted rainbow chard for the swiss and used two bunches for... leftovers. Served it pan sauteed chicken and a whole sweet potato. Great combination, will definitely make this again and again!Read more
