Description

A delightful recipe combining tender chicken thighs with a luscious Dijon cream sauce and roasted vegetables, perfect for a comforting family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 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 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well and spread in a large baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, and seasoning until smooth.
  4. Pat chicken thighs dry and arrange skin-side up over the vegetables. Brush with Dijon cream sauce.
  5. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through and golden, and juices run clear.
  6. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the skin. Monitor to avoid burning.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables and pan sauce.

Notes

Patting chicken dry ensures crispy skin. Feel free to substitute vegetables as desired.
