Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Flip and sear for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet; add shallots and sauté until soft (about 3 minutes).
  5. Stir in Dijon mustard and cook for 1 minute, then add chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer while scraping browned bits from the pan.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet skin-side up, spoon sauce over it, then transfer to the oven. Bake until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 25-30 minutes.
