Step 1
Pat the 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add the 6 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Pour in the 0.5 cup chicken broth and 0.25 cup hot sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce clings, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Add the 4 cups mixed greens to the skillet and toss until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the greens and extra sauce spooned on top.
