Description

A flavorful dish combining savory Dijon mustard with roasted vegetables, perfect for impressing family and friends.


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 vegetables)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed


Instructions

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

Notes

Use quality chicken for the best flavor. Pat dry before baking for crispy skin.
