     Title: One-Pan Crispy Chicken & Chickpeas
Categories: Poultry, Beans, Vegetables, Greens
     Yield: 4 Servings

     4    Chicken thighs; bone-in,
          - skin-on
          Salt & pepper
     2 ts Olive oil; more as needed
    30 oz Chickpeas (2 cans); rinsed
     4 cl Garlic; thin sliced
     4 c  Baby spinach; packed -OR-
     5 oz Pkg baby spinach
     1 lg Lemon; halved
          Yogurt & hot sauce; to serve
          - (optional)

 Set oven @ 400 F/205 C with a rack in the center.

 Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
 Heat 2 ts of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over
 medium-high heat. Put the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin-side
 down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until light golden brown. Flip
 and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

 Add the chickpeas and garlic to the skillet and stir to coat in the
 oil and juices. If the pan seems at all dry, drizzle in a bit of
 olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

 Place the chicken on top of the chickpeas, skin side up, in an even
 layer and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or
 until the chicken is deeply golden and cooked through.

 Remove the chicken to a clean plate, put the pan back on the
 stovetop over medium heat and add the spinach to the chickpeas in
 the pan, one handful at a time, stirring it until just wilted. Add
 the chicken back to the pan and squeeze a lemon half over the top;
 cut the remaining lemon half into 4 wedges. Serve the chicken,
 chickpeas, and spinach with the lemon wedges on the side, and
 yogurt and hot sauce for serving, if you like.
