Instructions

1
Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3
Add the halved baby potatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach, stirring gently until it wilts, which should take 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot directly from the skillet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?

Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces. Be careful not to overcook them as they can dry out more easily than thighs.

What kind of potatoes work best?

Small, waxy potatoes like red bliss, Yukon gold, or creamer potatoes are ideal as they hold their shape well and become creamy when cooked. If using larger potatoes, cut them into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Sliced carrots or celery can be added with the onions, or frozen peas can be stirred in with the spinach for extra color and nutrients.
