Roasted Dijon Chicken

This delicious and hearty recipe for roasted Dijon chicken and vegetables looks like it takes all day, but is quick enough for a weekday supper!

Roasted Dijon Chicken

Before I wax poetic about this Dijon roast chicken, let me just say this: I love Sunday evening supper.

I usually make something that needs to cook slowly and lovingly, something that I wouldn’t have the time to make during the mad rush that is MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursday.

Not that I don’t have lots of delicious weeknight ideas, but there’s something about Sundays, and so when I come up with something that can be made on a Thursday schedule with Sunday flavors, I definitely feel like I have beaten the system.

That’s how things are with this scrumptious roast chicken dinner.

Here’s how you make Roasted Dijon Chicken!

The key to this particular recipe is really cranking the heat up on your oven.  I’m talking 475 degrees here – and don’t be afraid, they put those high numbers on the oven thermometer for a reason, which in this case is to be able to make a tender, juicy roast chicken dinner under an hour.

You start by searing bone-in chicken breasts in a frying pan just long enough to get them nice and browned, about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, mix up a quick sauce of Dijon mustard and poultry seasoning, and chop up a few onions and carrots…for this recipe I like getting large sweet onions.

Once the chicken is browned, spread the mustard sauce over it and pop it in a roasting pan with the veggies.  Now roast it for about 40 minutes.

Your chicken will be tender and juicy and the veggies will have a lovely half soft and half crispy texture.

Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top and grind some pepper over the whole thing and voila! Sunday dinner on Thursday.

Or Wednesday.

Or even on a Sunday where you want to spend a little less time in the kitchen.  It’s like having your cake and eating it too. Or your chicken.

    I love Sunday Suppers, too. They just seem to make the world a little bit brighter for the week ahead. Almost like fitting us with a big comfy armor against anything the MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursday has to throw our way. Love this chicken. Your photos are always mouth-watering!

    I sometimes try to make Sunday dinners on Thursday mornings…and I just end up late for work. :P

    Kate,

    This looks wonderful…and looks like a great dish for a crowd. Have you tried making it ahead and freezing? Or is there another of your wonderful dishes you’d recommend?

    Always fun to peruse–and try your recipes. Thanks for posting!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, The Southern Husband AND The Southern Daughter! ;)

    Made this meal this evening, easy, quick, time to clean up kitchen and take a shower while baking. Best of all it was very good. Husband said it was a definite do over :) We liked thighs and wings the best (I used a whole chicken).

    I make a meal just like this, but I mix capers and garlic in with the Dijon and deglaze the pan with dry sherry and a little butter at the end for a really excellent sauce. I love Dijon and chicken! Thanks!

    Hope all your birthdays, your anniversary and holiday events were the best. Happy New Year a little bit late. ;)

    In my home, we have a “meat vs. meat” issue. We both love red meat, yet my boyfriend dislikes chicken. That is, unless I can constantly find new dishes. This one, I MUST try. Looks like Friday’s dinner is planned. :)
