Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 package (9 ounces) fresh spinach
1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
6 chicken leg quarters
3/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Place potatoes, spinach and onion in a greased shallow roasting pan. Add oil, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.
Arrange chicken over vegetables; sprinkle with paprika and remaining salt and pepper. Roast on an upper oven rack 55-60 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175° and potatoes are tender.

Test Kitchen Tips

Common olive oil works better for cooking at high heat than virgin or extra-virgin oil. These higher grades have ideal flavor for cold foods, but they smoke at lower temperatures.

Using baby spinach saves prep time because you don’t have to remove the tough stems of mature spinach. Some people prefer baby spinach’s tender texture in salads.
