Preview – Chicken Dijon

Let’s get started making this easy dish together, shall we? Here we go!

Ingredients
Chicken – I used only 4 thighs but you can cook up whatever you want
Dijon mustard
1 large shallot – I didn’t have one so I used a regular onion, chopped finely
1/4 cup of butter
Italian seasoned bread crumbs

That is it for the ingredients! Wash the chicken pieces and dry them. Add them to a baking pan.

Chicken goes into the oven to bake

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool until you can easily handle them.

In the meantime, place the chopped shallots into a bowl and add a couple of heaping spoonfuls of Dijon mustard. Stir.

Dijon and onion mixture

When the chicken is cool enough to handle, coat the chicken with the mustard mixture. Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl, and roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until well coated.

Chicken has been rubbed with mustard then breaded

Take the pan that you cooked the chicken in and drain the fat, then add the butter. Return the pan to the oven. When the butter has melted, add the chicken skin side down.

Chicken goes back into the oven

Bake for 15 minutes and then turn the chicken.

After 15 minutes turn the chicken

After another 15 minutes in the oven, the chicken should be done. Check to be sure using an meat thermometer.

Remove the chicken from the oven, and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving so the juices settle. And here is the finished dish served up with some pan fried potatoes and peas!

Dinner is served!

I hope that you try this recipe! We certainly enjoyed it and the amazing flavors!
