INGREDIENTS :
- 1 lb chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 c. baby red potatoes, washed and quartered
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning (thyme, oregano, basil – combined)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 c. fresh spinach
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 c (240ml) chicken stock
- Salt and pepper
- 1 c (240ml) half and a half (half cream mixed with half milk, for a lighter cream)
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 tsp Italian seasoning and salt & pepper.
Step 2: In a large skillet or pot, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken thighs to the skillet/pot, skin-side-down. Sear the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. When done, drain the excess grease and set the chicken thighs aside.
Step 3: In the now-empty skillet, melt the rest of the butter. Then, add the garlic along with paprika and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Next, add the potatoes and saute for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4: To the potatoes, stir in the tomato and chicken broth. Let everything simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5: Add the half-and-half/cream, grated Parmesan cheese, spinach, and crushed chili pepper flakes. Stir well and decrease the heat. Simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6: Place the chicken thighs back in the skillet, skin-side-up. Allow everything to simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are completely cooked. Adjust the salt and pepper according to taste.
Step 7: Take off the heat when done and serve the chicken and potatoes right away with extra red pepper flakes and Parmesan. Enjoy!
