How to make it
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- 3
Gently lift the skin of each chicken thigh. Spread about one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture under the skin of each thigh, pushing it down towards the meat. If you have extra, spread it on top.
- 4
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in an oven safe baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
- 5
Remove the dish from the oven. Carefully stir in the fresh spinach around the chicken. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is wonderfully crispy. The spinach will be delightfully wilted. Serve hot.
