Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, OR make from a shortcut
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, or 2 cups frozen, thawed, squeezed dry
  • 500 grams small potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 of a standard block
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth, fresh or from powder, more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, or whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
  • Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, set aside.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Stir in spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes; set aside. If using frozen, just thaw and squeeze out the water.
  • To make the garlic Parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in cream and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place chicken in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Ass potatoes to the sides and top, then add spinach, and the cream sauce.
  • Bake until completely cooked through, juices run clear, about 25-30 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, serve.

Notes

Six chicken thighs might be near a kilo, about 70 Baht. For the cheese, go with about 150 Baht. For 6 servings, this is about $1.08 per serving.
