Serving

4 tbsp olive oil
24 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp blackening seasoning or 2 tsp cajun seasoning
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 bunch collard greens , stems discarded and leaves cut into strips (about 10 cups)

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; season the chicken with the blackening seasoning or Cajun seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Meanwhile, heat a second skillet, over medium high heat with 3 tablespoons oil; add garlic, red pepper, cook, tossing frequently, until softened about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the collards, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing, until collards are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
