Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb mixture evenly over 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and place them skin-side up on a baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: While the chicken roasts, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 10 oz chopped fresh spinach. Cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the spinach. Stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until the cream cheese melts and the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve the roasted chicken thighs hot alongside the creamed spinach.
