Keep an extra batch in the fridge for midday snacking. Ingredients 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest and 4 teaspoons fresh juice, plus wedges for serving 3 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup coarsely chopped cilantro 5 ounces baby spinach (4 packed cups) 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (1 ¼ pounds) Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cook peas in a small pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain; transfer to a food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon juice, 1 tablespoon cheese, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper; process until texture is similar to hummus. Add cilantro and 1 packed cup spinach; puree. Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and 1/2 teaspoon zest. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
