Description
Creamy Dijon Chicken and Potatoes is a quick and delightful dish featuring tender chicken thighs and baby potatoes in a rich Dijon cream sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- After the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to low and pour the Dijon cream sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven and add them to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Stir gently to combine.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with chicken broth.
- Add some steamed green beans or broccoli during the last 10 minutes of baking for added color and nutrition.
