Tender chicken thighs in a creamy, tangy Dijon sauce paired with hearty roasted vegetables, making it an ideal one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for 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 veggies)
  • 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 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add the dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly in a large baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Arrange them skin-side up over the seasoned vegetables in the baking dish. Brush each thigh generously with the creamy Dijon sauce.
  5. Bake uncovered for about 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  6. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the chicken skin.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate with the roasted vegetables and drizzle over any remaining pan sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the Dijon sauce for several hours or overnight. You can swap in other seasonal vegetables to keep it fresh.
