Chicken with Escarole

Make delicious chicken! A surprisingly simple recipe! Chicken with escarole is a hearty main course you can serve with a side or all on its own. The chicken breast is seared in olive oil first (and you can swap the olive oil for any other vegetable oil). The escarole is blanched in boiling water before cooking, which makes it softer and quicker to cook in the pan.
