1

Sprinkle chicken thighs with garlic salt, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper, then cover with saran wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Chop Yukon Gold and red potatoes into eight pieces and pre-cook them in a baking dish with olive oil for about 30 minutes at 400°F.

3

Sear marinated chicken thighs skin-side down in a skillet with olive oil and butter for about 3 minutes on each side.

4

Remove chicken from the skillet and add spinach to the same pan, cooking until just wilted.

5

In the same skillet, melt butter and add garlic, then pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream, stirring in parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley.

6

Remove pre-cooked potatoes from the oven and arrange chicken thighs on top, adding spinach around them.

7

Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and potatoes and bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes at 400°F.
