HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

03

Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

04

Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking until it wilts completely, about 3-5 minutes. Return the browned chicken to the skillet.

05

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

06

Pour the yogurt mixture evenly over the chicken and spinach in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.

07

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed to prevent drying out. Kale or Swiss chard can replace spinach. For a vegetarian option, omit chicken and add chickpeas or cannellini beans.
