Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 6-8 thighs
- 5 cup fresh spinach loosely packed
- 2 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 0.5 tsp black pepper

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to re-crisp the skin and spinach. Make-Ahead: You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor. Variations: Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs and reduce cook time by 5 minutes. Add other vegetables like cauliflower florets or sweet potato cubes to the pan. For a dairy-free version, ensure your garam masala blend contains no dairy.
