Description
A delightful dish combining mustard, cream, and juicy chicken thighs for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting vegetables)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well and spread evenly in a large baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, remaining olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and fully blended.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Arrange the thighs, skin side up, over the vegetables in the baking dish. Brush liberally with the prepared Dijon cream sauce, ensuring the thighs are well coated.
- Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, golden, and the juices run clear when pierced. The vegetables should be tender.
- Optional: Switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, to further brown the chicken skin if desired.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate with the roasted vegetables and spoon over the pan sauce as desired.
Notes
Use fresh vegetables for enhanced flavor and adjust seasoning before coating the chicken. Allow chicken to rest for better texture.
