24 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons blackening seasoning or 2 teaspoons 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.
