Cook collards
Carefully wipe down skillet with a paper towel to remove seasoning. On medium heat, cook bacon until fat renders, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shallots and sauté until slightly soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, then toss in collards with a couple pinches salt. Stir in red wine vinegar and ¼ cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until collards completely wilt, 6 to 8 minutes. Adjust for seasoning and remove from heat.
Plate, serve
Divide collards evenly between two plates. Top with chicken and serve.
