Ingredients

  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs or use a mix of bone-in legs and thighs
  • ½ tsp EACH: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, onion powder, and pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or any neutral-tasting oil
  • ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes + 1 tsp of the oil from the jar
  • ½ shallot sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth or stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan freshly grated
  • 1 can (any) white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • optional for garnish: fresh thyme and lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pat the chicken dry and season the chicken with the spice mixture. Use more or less as needed to suit your preferences.
  • Drizzle olive oil into a large oven-safe pan (or dutch oven) over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides for 5-8 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and add the sun dried tomatoes (with the oil from the jar), and shallot. Saute for 3 minutes or until the shallot is fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth and let it bubble down as you scrape the sides and bottom of the pan.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add the heavy cream and parmesan. Stir until the parmesan melts.
  • Add the beans and spinach, stir for a minute until the spinach wilts.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Finish it off by garnishing with lemon wedges and fresh thyme.
