Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Wrap each thigh tightly with one slice of bacon.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear bacon-wrapped chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until bacon is golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear.
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, heat a separate large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 8 cups fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 4 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup heavy cream; cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the spinach.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve chicken thighs over the creamy spinach immediately.
