Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
2 cups halved and thinly sliced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons dry white wine
8 ounces creme fraiche
1 tablespoon good Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn them over and sprinkle them with one more teaspoon of salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 155 to 160 degrees and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce. If the onions aren't browned, cook them for another minute.
  • Add the wine, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

EASY CRISPY DIJON CHICKEN



Easy Crispy Dijon Chicken image

This is sooo easy to make, and everyone thinks you spent a lot of time making it. The cooking technique is what really makes this recipe work so well. You'll probably end up using this technique a lot; I sure do. (I made Kittencal's Easy and Delicious Ranch-Parmesan Chicken this way and it was amazing.) OK, back to the recipe; I use only 1/2 as much butter as the original recipe called for but I am posting it exactly as I received it. I think 2 tablespoons butter is plenty but you judge for yourself. So, keep in mind that you can cut the fat considerably by reducing the butter. I also use regular 1 or 2% milk instead of half and half when that's all I have around. It always comes out delicious. You can use this recipe for pork chops, too.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons butter (I use half)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or whatever mustard you like)
1/4 cup half-and-half (or whatever milk you have around)
1/4 cup cracker crumbs or 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, just use what you like
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Put the butter in a 9 or 10 inch square baking dish and put it in the oven while it is heating up.
  • Don't use a dish that is too big or the butter will end up spreading out too far from the chicken. This whole first part is very important and will help make your chicken end up crispy.
  • In one bowl, whisk together the mustard and half and half.
  • In another bowl, mix together the cracker crumbs and the cheese.
  • When the oven is completely heated up and the butter is sizzling in the baking dish, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a trivet on the counter next to your two mixtures.
  • Dip the chicken in the wet mixture; dredge in the crumb mixture.
  • This step is important. Put the chicken down in the dish and turn it over right away. The idea is to put it in the butter briefly and turn it over so the butter side is up. It makes the chicken get evenly crispy. I use this technique for all of my oven "frying" because it works so well.
  • Bake for approximately 45 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Leave them in there until the coating is browned real nicely. Mine are usually perfect at 45 minutes.

CRISPY ONION DIJON CHICKEN

Not boring chicken again :) This is zesty and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The french fried onions really make a wonderful coating.

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 (8 ounce) can French-fried onions, crushed (Durkee)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Just melt, don't cook, butter in small saucepan or microwave.
  • Add worcestershire sauce and mustard.
  • Dip chicken in butter mixture and coat well with crushed onions.
  • Place in baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until juices run clear.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy chicken, ensure the chicken is dry before dredging in the flour mixture. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels or let it air dry on a wire rack for a few minutes.
  • Use a shallow dish or plate for dredging the chicken in the flour mixture. This will help ensure that the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Crispy Onion Dijon Chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or as part of a larger meal. The crispy onion coating adds a delightful crunch, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with family and friends alike. Additionally, it is a relatively easy dish to make, making it a great option for busy weeknight dinners. With its combination of crispy texture, tangy flavor, and ease of preparation, Crispy Onion Dijon Chicken is a recipe that is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
