  • Total Time: 50
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
10 oz fresh spinach
1 red onion, sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Pat chicken dry, season both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and half the garlic
Drizzle chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil and rub to coat
Spread spinach over the bottom of an oven-safe sheet pan
Place seasoned chicken and red onion slices around the spinach
Toss remaining garlic with cherry tomatoes and 1 tbsp olive oil, then arrange over the chicken
Roast for 25 minutes, then rotate pan for even browning
Top with cherry tomato mixture and roast 10-15 minutes more until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C)

Notes

Use pre-cut fresh spinach for time-saving convenience
Preheating the pan creates a better sear on chicken
For extra flavor, add lemon wedges to serve
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days
