Polenta with Blue Cheese and Garlicky Chard

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems trimmed and leaves cut into 1-inch strips
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup instant polenta
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola; about 2 1/2 ounces)

Preparation
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the chard is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Slowly whisk in the polenta. Cook, whisking constantly, until the polenta thickens, 3 to 4 minutes.

Divide the polenta among bowls and top with the chard and blue cheese.
