Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken thighs, skin on
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup white wine (whatever you're pouring will work best)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
1/4 cup tarragon, minced • 10 ounces spinach

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Cover the chicken thighs in 4 tablespoons of the mustard and season with salt. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken thighs, skin side down. After the skins have browned, remove the chicken thighs and reserve. 2. Add the sliced shallots and cook until soft, around 3 to 4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Add the wine and scrape up the browned bits on the pan with a spatula. When the wine comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin side up. Add water if necessary so that the liquid level reaches three-quarters of the way up the chicken, then place the pan in the oven for 30 minutes. 3. While the chicken is cooking, bring salted water to a boil in a medium-size pot. Add the spinach and cook until bright green, around 2 to 3 minutes, strain and reserve. 4. When the chicken is done, remove the pan from the oven, and then remove the chicken from the pan and reserve. Strain the sauce, reserving the shallots. Pour the sauce back into the pan and bring to a boil on the stove over high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of mustard and cook, stirring, until the sauce has reduced by half. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream to finish the sauce. Plate the chicken on a bed of spinach and shallots and top with a few spoonfuls of the sauce and a sprinkle of sliced almonds and minced tarragon. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a big fan of mustard, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The mustard flavor was subtle and the chicken was very moist.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The chicken was cooked well and the vegetables were tender.

This mustard braised chicken was absolutely delicious! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect comfort food meal.
