Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken and Potatoes:
    • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
    • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp paprika
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Dijon Cream Sauce:
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
    • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes:
    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Season chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Sear the Chicken:
    • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  • Roast the Chicken and Potatoes:
    • Arrange chicken and potatoes in the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  • Make the Dijon Cream Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Serve:
    • Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use skin-on chicken thighs for crispier texture and richer flavor.
  • Substitute baby potatoes with Yukon golds or red potatoes if needed.
  • Add steamed vegetables like green beans or broccoli for a complete meal.
