Ingredients
  

  • 6 potatoes diced small in to 1 cm cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons italian herb seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 ½ cups thickened cream
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • salt & pepper
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese you can use any type of cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and lightly oil a baking dish (I use a glass one).
  • Cut the potatoes to a small 1 cm cube size and set them aside. I used washed potatoes and left the skin on, but you can use any and remove the skin.
  • Season the chicken with olive oil, Italian seasoning and a dash of salt and pepper.
  • In a large frypan on a medium high heat, add oil and fry chicken on both sides until golden (around 4 minutes per side). Remove chicken and don't wash the frypan.
  • Melt the butter and add minced garlic. Once the butter starts to bubble (around 1 minute), add the flour and whisk it together.
  • Add the chicken stock slowly and whisk (approx 1 minute). Add the cream and continue to whisk until thick and creamy.
  • Add the baby spinach, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, cheese, salt and pepper to the sauce and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the bottom of the baking dish and pour over the cheese sauce. Add the chicken on top of the potato and cover with foil.
  • Place dish in the oven (with foil) for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and place it back in the oven for a further 20 minutes.
  • Using a fork, check that the potatoes are cooked through and serve. If potatoes aren't cooked through, you might have to increase the cooking time.

Notes

Note: Make sure you cut the potatoes small to decrease cooking time.
