Dijon Chicken and Potatoes

This dish is a masterclass in building layers of flavor. It begins with browning chicken drumsticks and thighs to lock in juices, followed by sautéing onions and potatoes in the same flavorful oil. The addition of Dijon mustard to the chicken broth creates a zesty, sophisticated base that mellows as it simmers, perfectly coating the tender potatoes. Finished with bright frozen peas and fresh parsley, it is a colorful, well-balanced meal that feels both hearty and refined.
