Wash leaves well, then cut in half crosswise (leave whole if on the smaller side).
Heat oil in a wide heavy pot (5- to 7-quart capacity) over medium heat until shimmering, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add chard stems and ribs, the water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, covered, until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high.
Add leaves in handfuls, turning with tongs and adding more as previous batches wilt, until all leaves have been added to pot.
