Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup of baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups of fresh spinach
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ cup of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegan version)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A sprinkle of Italian herbs (basil, oregano, or thyme)
Instructions

Notes
Ensure chicken is at room temperature before cooking for better searing. Allow flavors to meld by tasting and adjusting seasonings during cooking.
