Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.

    Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir occasionally.

      Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

        Cook the Chicken: Push the veggies to the side of the skillet. Add the seasoned chicken thighs in the center and let them sear for about 5 minutes on each side until browned.

          Combine and Simmer: Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F), reduce the heat, and add the fresh spinach. Stir everything together until the spinach is wilted.

            Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and let cool for a moment. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for extra flavor.
