Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 6-7 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 7-8 cloves garlic, smashed then roughly chopped
  • 2-3 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice to taste
For the Potatoes
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, parboiled for 10 minutes halve if large, quarter if small

Equipment

  • Large frying pan
  • 9x13 baking pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Melt butter and oil together in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs.
  3. Fry until the skin is very crisp and brown on both sides. Drain the chicken and place into a large 9x13 baking pan.
  4. Drain the fat from the pan and place back on the stove. Melt the next two tablespoons of butter.
  5. Add all of the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the spinach and sauté until it shrinks.
  6. Whisk in the chicken broth, cream, flour, and Parmesan. Add lemon juice to taste.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  8. Place the parboiled baby potatoes between the chicken in the 9x13 pan.
  9. Pour the spinach and cream sauce over the chicken and potatoes.
  10. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175 °F and is tender. The potatoes should also be tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and serve.

Notes

Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes before placing them into the dish to ensure they are soft. If you want crispy chicken, pour the sauce around the chicken, not on top.
