Chard Recipes

Chard is a hearty green that can be subbed into almost any spinach recipe, though it has its own delicious and slightly bitter flavor. It's great in soups or pastas or as its own side dish stir-fried with leeks.

Pickle-Brined Chicken

From Food & Wine

"When you have leftover pickle juice, isn't it a waste not to use it to make chicken taste delicious?" asks Frank Falcinelli. He brines chicken breast in dill-pickle juice to flavor it and keep it moist in the oven, then serves it on top of supertender leg meat he's shredded and mixed with sauteed chard.

Bulgur Salad with Wilted Chard and Green Olives

A hearty grain salad that's good cool or at room temperature is a perfect addition to a picnic. Be sure to use good-quality olives and rinse them well before you remove the pits, or the salad will be too salty.

A classic Croque Madame is a grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top. In this version the soft yolk becomes a delicious sauce for an open-faced sandwich of grilled salmon on a bed of Swiss chard.

Seared Scallops with Bacon-Braised Chard

From Food & Wine

"When you learn how to cook scallops with a crisp golden crust, they're just so good," says Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard. To help brown the scallops, she adds butter to the pan halfway through cooking. The butter and bacon that flavor the colorful chard make the dish nicely rich.

Penne with Sausage, Chard & Pine Nuts
