To buy
- 5 ounces bitter greens (radicchio or chicory)
From your shelf
- 1 box chicken parmesan (Rao's)
Staples
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- to taste salt
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice 2 cloves garlic thin and add them to the oil; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Tear 5 ounces of bitter greens into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pan with a pinch of salt. Stir and let them wilt for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through. They are done when softened and lightly browned at the edges.
- Transfer the greens to a plate and wipe the pan clean. Open the box of chicken parmesan and follow the package heating instructions (usually about 18 to 20 minutes at 375°F [190°C] in the oven), or heat it gently in the same skillet over medium-low heat, covered, stirring often so the pasta doesn't stick and the cheese melts evenly.
- Plate the chicken parmesan and serve the bitter greens alongside.
Note Swap bitter greens for spinach or escarole sautéed the same way. Leftovers keep for two days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
