Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 3 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 16 ounces baby Dutch potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth or more, as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ cup half and half
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Stir in spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • Place chicken in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Top with potatoes, spinach and garlic Parmesan cream sauce.
  • Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce Preparation

  • Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
