Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 lb halved baby potatoes to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to brown.
  5. Step 5: Pour the honey-mustard mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the potatoes.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and potatoes are tender.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with 1 tbsp melted butter drizzled over the top.
