Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium Parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Wholegrain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the same pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the parsnips and carrots to the pot, tossing them with the onions and garlic to coat.
Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for added flavor.
Whisk together the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this mixture into the pot, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up, nestling them into the liquid and vegetables.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs on top of the chicken.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the parsnips are tender.
Once cooked, remove the thyme sprigs and taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken pot hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
