Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt and black pepper for seasoning chicken
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Pinch of salt
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
1-Getting started with Garlic Dijon Chicken: First, preheat your oven to 425Β°F to ensure even cooking. Pat the 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper; set them aside for that flavorful base for beginners.
2-Next: in a large bowl, whisk together 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons honey, 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 3/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you want some heat, and a pinch of salt to make the sauce. This mixture is what gives the dish its amazing taste, so take a moment to mix it well.
3-Now: add the chicken pieces to the bowl in batches, coating them thoroughly with the sauce using tongs. Transfer the coated chicken to a lightly oiled cast iron skillet or baking sheet, then pour any remaining sauce over the top and add the 1 large roughly chopped yellow onion.
4-Bake: in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
πΏ Marinate the chicken overnight in the sauce for deeper flavor.
π§΄ Prepare the sauce up to 2 days in advance and store refrigerated; bring to room temperature before use.
π₯ Serve with simple sides like salad, lentils, or roasted vegetables as the chicken cooks quickly.
