Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Steamed couscous and dressed salad greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add leeks and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until liquid evaporates, 3 minutes. Stir in broth, mustard, and thyme; bring to a boil. Return chicken and any juices to skillet in a single layer. Roast in oven until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat; stir in cream. Serve chicken and sauce with couscous and salad.

CHICKEN IN MUSTARD



Chicken in Mustard image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 to 2 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
1/4 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
Super Buttered Noodles, recipe follows
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pound egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Rinse and dry the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the thighs on both sides, working in batches if needed. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the Dutch oven and cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until the mushrooms have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and flour and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flour flavor, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tarragon. Turn up the heat and deglaze the pan with the white wine, allowing to bubble for a minute or two. Return the chicken to the Dutch oven. Add enough chicken stock to reach halfway up the sides of the chicken. Cover, place in the oven, and braise for 45 minutes, removing the lid halfway through.
  • When finished, remove the chicken from the Dutch oven and set aside. Add the mustard and sour cream and whisk to blend well. Return the chicken to the pan and allow the flavors to meld before serving, about 5 minutes. Serve over Super Buttered Noodles.
  • In a large pot filled with boiling water, dissolve the bouillon cubes and cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles in a colander and then nestle the colander into the pot so some of the pasta water goes into the pot as the pasta continues to drain. Remove the colander and stir the butter and sour cream into the pot until the butter melts. Add the parsley and the noodles. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine well. Pour into a serving bowl and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup Dijon mustard, such as Grey Poupon
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, cut in eighths

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the garlic is finely minced. Add the panko, lemon zest, olive oil, and butter and pulse a few times to moisten the bread flakes. Pour the mixture onto a large plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mustard and wine.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously all over with salt and pepper. Dip each piece in the mustard mixture to coat on all sides, and then place skin-side down only into the crumb mixture, pressing gently to make the crumbs adhere. Place the chicken on a sheet pan crumb-side up. Press the remaining crumbs on the chicken pieces.
  • Bake the chicken for 40 minutes. Raise the heat to 400 degrees F and bake for another 10 minutes, until the crumbs are browned and the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 teaspoon Ras el Hanout
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ((divided))
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 to 8 chicken thighs ((boneless, skinless))
kosher salt and black pepper
3 carrots ((cut into 1-inch pieces))
2 celery ribs ((cut into 1-inch pieces))
1 red onion ((large, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices))
handful of raisins ((optional))
extra virgin olive oil
1 cup couscous
1 cup water ((or chicken broth))
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh parsley ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Make the seasoning rub. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, and spices. Whisk to combine.
  • Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper on both side. Pour about 3/4 of the rub you just made all over the chicken (reserve the rest for later) and toss to make sure all the pieces are well coated. Set aside for now.
  • Put the vegetables and onions in a mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and pour the remaining seasoning rub. Toss to combine.
  • Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large baking pan or rimmed sheet pan.
  • Bake in the center of the heated-oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. The vegetables should also soften and gain some char.
  • While the chicken and veggies are baking, prepare the couscous. Boil the water or both until bubbling. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the couscous and cook, tossing regularly, until the couscous is toasted to golden brown. Season with kosher salt and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add the boiled water. Immediately turn the heat off and cover the saucepan. Leave the couscous undisturbed for 10 minutes, the couscous should absorb all the liquid. When ready, add the fresh parsley and fluff the couscous with a fork.
  • When the chicken is fully cooked through, remove it from the oven. Spoon the couscous between the chicken pieces and allow it about 5 minutes to sop up some of the pan juices. Finish with the raisins, if you like.

CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE



Chicken in Mustard Sauce image

This healthy yet elegant weeknight chicken dish came to The Times in 1988, courtesy of Jacques Pépin. It's simple but loaded with flavor, and you can throw it together in about a half hour. Just sauté the chicken until golden, then make a quick sauce from onions, water and mustard and reduce until thick. Serve with rice to soak up the sauce, and a crisp green salad. If white meat is not your thing, it would be equally delicious made with boneless chicken thighs (just be sure to add a few minutes of cooking time).

Provided by Jacques Pépin

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 5-ounce chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • Mix in the onion and continue cooking for one minute.
  • Sprinkle the flour on the chicken pieces, turning them so that all the pieces are coated. Cook one minute to lightly brown the flour.
  • Add the water and stir to dissolve the flour until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the skillet and boil gently for five minutes.
  • Remove the meat to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Cook the sauce to reduce it to about one-and-a-half cups. Mix the dry mustard with the Dijon mustard and stir until smooth. Stir the mustard mixture into the sauce and heat, but do not allow the sauce to boil after the mustard has been added.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the sauce and warm over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes to develop the flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with the sauce.

LAURIE COLWIN'S BAKED MUSTARD CHICKEN



Laurie Colwin's Baked Mustard Chicken image

This old-school chicken, Sunday-night-supper chicken, even dinner party chicken, is baked for about two hours (yes, you read that correctly: two hours) until its bread crumb-coated skin is crisp - yet the meat miraculously maintains its moisture. The recipe, adapted from the great food writer Laurie Colwin, is so simple to make that her original version was written out in a brief paragraph, casually instructing the home cook to coat the chicken with mustard, garlic, a little thyme, a pinch of cinnamon. We have adapted the recipe to include measurements and more specific direction, but that shouldn't stop you from absorbing her nonchalance and confidence as you make it, the certainty that it will turn out delicious every time. (The New York Times)

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and black pepper
2 cups fine dry unseasoned bread crumbs
2 chickens, 2 to 3 pounds each, quartered, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon sweet paprika, or as needed
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place bread crumbs in another large bowl.
  • Working in batches, coat chicken quarters on all sides with mustard mixture. Shake off excess mustard, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Arrange in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan.
  • Dust the chicken with paprika and scatter butter pieces on top. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and crispy, about 2 hours. (Depending on the oven, the size of the pan and the size of the chickens, baking time may be as long as 2 1/2 hours.) Serve hot or at room temperature.
