Instructions
- 1
Combine 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of finely minced preserved lemon rind, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 2 crushed cloves of garlic in a large pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- 2
Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each weighing about 6 ounces, to the simmering liquid, ensuring they are fully submerged, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and poach for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- 3
Carefully remove the poached chicken breasts from the pot and set them aside to rest, discarding the thyme sprigs and straining 0.5 cup of the poaching liquid for later use.
- 4
In a separate medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat, then add 2 cups of corn kernels and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Pour 0.5 cup of heavy cream into the saucepan with the corn, season with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper, and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, creating creamed corn.
- 6
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 bunch of chopped Swiss chard leaves, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until wilted, seasoning with 0.125 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Slice each poached chicken breast into medallions and arrange them on plates alongside generous servings of creamed corn and sautéed Swiss chard, garnishing each plate with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of the reserved poaching liquid.
