Oven-Baked Chicken and Potatoes with Lemon-Mustard Sauce

The kind of one-pan recipe we love for a weeknight! And a great way to elevate your Chicken and Potatoes - lol. There's something special about this dish with the marinade of lemon, mustard, garlic, and rosemary. I insist on using yellow mustard here. Canada Sauce, a company from Saguenay, makes an excellent one! I also insist on using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs - without them, the dish will be much drier and less flavorful.


Servings: 4-6

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 1 hour 10 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 5-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 yellow potatoes, cut into one-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into one-inch pieces
  • 1 medium-sized leek, cut in half and then into one-inch sections
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed

Marinade:

  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • 1 ½ tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 rosemary branches, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place the potatoes, red bell pepper, leek, and garlic in a large ceramic oven-safe dish.
  4. In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients and pour ¾ of it over the vegetables. Mix well and place the chicken thighs on top. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 40 minutes. The chicken skin should be extra crispy, and the potatoes tender.
  6. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and flat parsley leaves. SO good.
