Ingredients
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 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.
- Remove the chicken, add cubed potatoes to the skillet, and sauté for 5 minutes until lightly caramelized.
- Whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and pepper; pour over the potatoes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the potatoes, and cover loosely with foil if the sauce thickens quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are fork‑tender.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
