Ingredients
4
bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c.
ranch dressing
2 tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
3
garlic cloves, minced
1
onion, chopped
2 c.
low-sodium chicken broth
1 c.
white rice
1 c.
baby spinach
1/4 c.
chopped parsley
Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl season chicken with salt and black pepper. Add ranch dressing and marinate 5 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic and onion, 2 minutes. Stir in broth and rice and season with salt and pepper. Return chicken to rice mixture, skin-side up. Simmer until rice is tender and chicken cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  3. Stir in baby spinach and parsley and serve.
