Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce recipe

This Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce recipe features tender chicken and crispy potatoes simmered in a flavorful Dijon mustard sauce, perfect for a comforting and elegant dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 500g baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the halved baby potatoes in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear them in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  7. Lower the heat, stir in the heavy cream, then return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  8. Cover and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.
  9. Serve the chicken and sauce over the roasted potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before simmering or serve with a side of steamed green beans.
