Description

This Creamy Dijon Chicken and Potatoes recipe delivers a one‑pan dinner with juicy chicken thighs, tender roasted potatoes, and a silky mustard‑cream sauce. The dish combines tangy Dijon, rich heavy cream, and savory broth for a comforting flavor that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Easy to prep, it requires minimal cleanup and serves a family of four with satisfying protein and carbs in every bite. The buttery glaze adds a finish, and thyme‑infused herbs deepen flavor for a dinner and simple up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone‑in, skin‑on
  • 4 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Heat butter in a large oven‑safe skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken skin‑side down until golden brown, about 4‑5 minutes; flip and brown the other side for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken, add cubed potatoes to the skillet, and sauté for 5 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  5. Whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and pepper; pour over the potatoes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the potatoes, and cover loosely with foil if the sauce thickens quickly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are fork‑tender.
  8. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
