Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Generously coat the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and smoked paprika.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a baking dish and drizzle them with avocado oil. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. In a skillet, sauté shallots and garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Whisk in cornstarch, chicken broth, lemon juice, and white wine to create a rich sauce.
  5. Stir in the Boursin cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Then, add the spinach and let it cook until just wilted.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked through (165°F internally), nestle it in the sauce or spoon the mixture over the chicken before serving.
