Recipe by Emily Nabors Hall Sneak another veg into the potatoes with our green dressing that has peas and spinach. This recipe's a time-saver, too: A quick sear and a sprinkle of panko cuts prep and cook time in half compared to breading and baking. Serv

Ingredients

4 (5-oz.) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons whole-wheat panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
1 pound halved baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup frozen green peas
1 1/2 cups fresh spinach
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Rub chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise; sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken, skin side down, to pan; cook 3 minutes. Turn; top evenly with panko and 1 teaspoon thyme. Place pan in oven. Bake at 400 °F for 12 minutes or until chicken is done.
Place potatoes in a saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil; cook 8 minutes or until tender. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Return water to a boil. Add peas; cook 2 minutes. Add spinach; cook 30 seconds. Drain; rinse under cold water. Drain.
Place remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, two-thirds of spinach mixture, vinegar, and garlic in a food processor; process until smooth. Add remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, remaining one-third of spinach mixture, and mayonnaise mixture to potatoes; toss. Serve with chicken thighs.
