Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs with Sautéed Spinach
Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring a perfectly crispy chicken thigh infused with zesty lemon and garlic, paired with tender sautéed spinach. This meal perfectly balances savory flavors and a light, fresh finish, ideal for a healthful breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
150g skinless, boneless chicken thigh
60g fresh spinach (about 2 cups raw)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 lemon
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
1 tsp paprika
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thigh dry. In a shallow bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Season the chicken thigh evenly with the spice blend.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh skin-side down if applicable, and cook until the exterior is crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. Reduce heat if needed to ensure thorough cooking.
While the chicken cooks, mince the garlic and squeeze half a lemon to extract the juice.
Once the chicken is nearly done, add minced garlic to the pan and briefly sauté until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Transfer the chicken to a plate and add the fresh spinach to the same skillet. Sauté the spinach quickly in the remaining juices and a drizzle of olive oil until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle the sautéed spinach with the lemon juice, and serve alongside the crispy chicken thigh for a balanced, flavor-packed meal.
