Pecorino breaded chicken

By AshleyRuss

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 5 slices sandwich bread
• 1/2 cup  grated pecorino (2 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons  unsalted butter, melted
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon  olive oil
• 2 bunches Swiss chard, stems discarded and leaves cut into 1-inch strips

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Heat oven to 400° F. In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form (you should have about 2 cups). Add the pecorino, butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and pulse once or twice to moisten.
Place the chicken in an 8-inch baking dish; season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture. Cover with foil and bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until crumbs are golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, tossing, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with the chicken.
