Lemony Chard and Chicken Skillet

I am back again with another one-pan meal! Swiss chard, lemon, mushrooms and chicken make up this rustic skillet dish that is packed with nutrition.

We ate this alone for a lighter meal but feel free to serve your favorite cooked grain alongside for a bit more bulk…cooked gluten free pasta would also be delicious tossed in along with the lemon juice and fresh herbs!
