Cooking with chicken thighs
Thigh meat is such a great cut of chicken. It holds its moisture during cooking, preventing you from ending up with dried chicken. And it is also often a cheaper cut of meat making it perfect for feeding a crowd.
Starting the cooking process on the stove, enables you to build delicious flavour in the pan and sear the meat. Remember colour means flavour! And its absolutely worth spending 10 minutes at the stove, to sear the meat and develop the sauce. We see recipes that suggest missing this step if you are short on time, but don't, try it and you'll never go back!

Spending time creating that flavour in the pan, makes the next step even more rewarding. Simply pop your oven proof pan, in the oven and allow the heat to do all the hard work for you. Allowing 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. The sauce will also have thickened and reduced by half. Creating a incredibly moreish sauce. Once ready remove from the oven and remove the chicken from the pan. Return to the stove to simply add and wilt the spinach. Return the chicken to the dish to serve along side your favourite sides. This dish works well with so many sides making, great for mid week meals. Serve with roasted vegetables, baked sweet potato, rice, greens or fresh bread.
