Garlic and Lemon Roasted Chicken with White Beans and Spinach
Whole garlic cloves and lemon roast alongside chicken thighs, served over creamy white beans wilted with spinach.

This is a Mediterranean-leaning sheet-pan dinner built around two things: a whole head's worth of garlic cloves roasted until soft and sweet, and plenty of lemon, both common in immune-supportive cooking and genuinely central to how this dish tastes.
The chicken roasts directly over a bed of white beans, so all those garlicky, lemony pan juices soak straight into the beans. A handful of spinach folded in at the end wilts into the beans for extra greens and a real vitamin C contribution from the lemon.
It's a one-pan dinner in the true Mediterranean spirit — simple ingredients, olive oil, citrus, and garlic doing most of the work. Serve it as is, in wide bowls, spooning the beans and pan juices generously over the chicken.
