3.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Add mushroom, garlic and ginger. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add chard. Cook, covered, shaking pan occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until chard wilts. Season.

4.Place chard mixture on serving plates. Top with chicken; drizzle with tray juices. Serve with lemon wedges.

You can buy rainbow chard, which is brightly coloured silverbeet, from specialty greengrocers. If unavailable, use regular silverbeet. Use brown sugar instead of palm sugar.
