Ingredients

4 (8 oz.) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs kosher salt Black pepper 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided 4 garlic cloves, smashed 10 thyme sprigs 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced 3/4 lb. sugar snap peas, cleaned and cut in half (about 3 c.) 2 tbsp. finely chopped mint 4 c. baby spinach

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pat chicken thighs dry, and season generously with salt and pepper. In large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic cloves and thyme sprigs and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook, without moving, for 6 minutes, until golden brown. Gently flip chicken, skin-side up, and scatter lemon slices over chicken. Place skillet in oven and cook for another 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F at the deepest portion of thigh. Meanwhile, in deep-sided sauté pan or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add snap peas and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened, but still slightly crunchy. Season with salt and pepper and stir in mint. In large bowl, pour hot snap peas on top of spinach. Toss gently for 1 minute or so, until spinach begins to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with spinach and snap peas, garnished with roasted lemon and garlic.
