INGREDIENTS

6 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on, optional)

1 pound baby Dutch potatoes, halved or quartered

3-4 cups baby spinach, chopped

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, optional

Sauce:

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup half and half

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 400º F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sauté spinach until just wilted. Remove from heat.

For the sauce: lower heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn.
