Roasted Chicken & Red Potatoes

We love a roasted chicken recipe that takes care of the vegetable side dish at the same time the main entree cooks! Using chicken quarters instead of a whole chicken means dark meat only, so make sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 175°F.

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

INSTRUCTIONS

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.
