French Mustard Chicken (Poulet à la Moutarde): The Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
– 1 cup Dijon mustard
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
– 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Creating French Mustard Chicken is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for about 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
3. Combine Mustard and Cream: In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, honey, garlic, thyme, and rosemary until smooth.
4. Deglaze the Pan: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Pour the mustard mixture into the skillet, scraping the bottom to incorporate all the flavorful bits from cooking the chicken.
5. Simmer the Chicken: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
6. Check the Sauce: Uncover the skillet and give the sauce a taste. Adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if desired. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.
7. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and your French Mustard Chicken is ready to be served!
