  • Zest lemon into a small bowl and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and toss with potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet.

  • Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, honey, pomegranate molasses, garam masala and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another small bowl. Nestle chicken into the potatoes and brush with the glaze.

  • Roast the chicken and potatoes until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh without touching bone registers 165°F, 25 to 30 minutes.

  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Sprinkle spinach on top of the potatoes; toss until wilted. Carefully juice the hot lemons into the bowl with the lemon zest. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, walnuts and feta. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Serve the vegetables with the chicken; garnish with pomegranate arils, if desired.

Tips

Tip: The pomegranate molasses used to glaze this chicken is made from pomegranate juice that's been reduced to a sweet-tart syrup. Look for it at well-stocked grocery stores or use 1 1/2 tsp. each pomegranate juice and honey in its place here.
