Chicken and Potato Bake Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish or coat it with nonstick spray.
- Season the chicken thighs with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the spinach for 2 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
- For the garlic Parmesan sauce, heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly. Stir in thyme, basil, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Top with the potatoes, spinach, and sauce.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
