Before You Start

Pat the thighs dry so the skin side browns instead of steaming.

How To Make It
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Rub the chicken with the paprika, garlic, salt, pepper and half the oil and set it on a sheet pan with the cauliflower tossed in the rest of the oil.
  3. Roast 25 minutes until the chicken is golden and reads 165°F and the cauliflower is browned at the edges.
    165°F
  4. Stir the spinach into the hot pan juices for 2 minutes until wilted.
  5. Sprinkle the parsley over the chicken.
  6. To keep it: cool it within 2 hours, portion it into a shallow lidded container and keep the parsley separate, refrigerate up to 4 days, then reheat it covered for 2 to 3 minutes until steaming and 165°F in the center.
    165°F
Fix It: If the cauliflower is pale when the chicken is done, move the chicken off and broil the pan 3 minutes.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 27 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
