Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat broiler. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, pound to an even thickness, and place on a broiler pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, molasses, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the jerk seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons water.
  3. Brush the chicken with the glaze. Broil, brushing occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn, brush, and broil for 4 to 6 minutes more, until cooked through.
  4. Brush the bread with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with the garlic. Broil until crisp, 1 ½ minutes. Slice the bread crosswise.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the chard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
  6. Divide the chicken, chard, and bread among individual plates.
