Easy Spinach and Arugula Chicken image

Arugula was on sale and I wanted to find new ways to use it. This became a quick favorite. I've found that there's no need to preheat the oven; a little longer cooking time produces a juicy thigh with crispy skin.

Time 1h

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup baby spinach leaves
½ cup arugula
1 clove garlic, slivered
1 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Stuff spinach leaves, arugula, and garlic under the skin of the chicken thigh and place on a baking dish. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
  • Bake chicken thigh in the oven set at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
