Ingredients: (serves 4)

4 large, organic, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
Organic cooking spray
Himalayan salt to taste
1 lb. medium, organic yam, cut into pieces
1 cup sliced, organic leeks (white parts only)
4 organic, garlic gloves, smashed
4 cups organic Swiss chard
1 Tbsp. organic, spicy mustard
2 tsp. organic, apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. organic, crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange chicken with skin-side down for thighs, in large, cool, cast-iron skillet, which has been lightly coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt to taste. Arrange cut-up yams around chicken. Cook 15-20 minutes, stirring yams occasionally.

Turn chicken once and place skillet back in oven at 425 for approximately 10 additional minutes. Transfer chicken and yams to a plate, keeping as much of the drippings in the skillet as possible. Add leeks and garlic to skillet. Cook over medium-high on stove top, stirring often, until fragrant for approx. 5 minutes. Add Swiss chard, mustard, and vinegar; cook just until wilted (2-3 minutes). Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired. Divide mixture onto four plates and place chicken & yams on top…serve!
