How To Make Chicken and Potatoes
Feel free to experiment with other seasonings and herbs to make this dish your own. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers to the potatoes for more variety.
- Start cleaning up those little potatoes, cut them in half, season them, and transfer them to a large oven-safe skillet.
- Next, you will find some skinless bone-in chicken thighs; season those and arrange them right around the potatoes.
- To make the sauce, use your favorite brown mustard and maple syrup. Once you combine those two, pour that amazingness over the chicken and potatoes, toss around to coat, and roast for about 40-ish minutes in the oven.
This recipe is a great way to create a flavorful and satisfying meal with minimal effort. The chicken thighs are juicy and delicious, while the potatoes become crispy and tender. This is a great meal to prepare when you want something that doesn’t take hours but still has plenty of flavor. Add this Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing Salad and White Wine Sangria to round out the meal.

Notes
- Chicken Thighs: For this recipe, we are using bone-in chicken thighs. Boneless chicken thighs will not work because the potatoes need to cook much longer than the thighs.
- Potatoes: Use small potatoes, about 1.5 inches in diameter. If you use anything bigger, they will need to cook longer and will dry up the chicken. If you do have to use bigger potatoes, cut them into about 3/4-inch pieces.
- Mustard: I like to use a combination of brown and yellow mustard, but feel free to use your favorite mustards or whatever you have on hand.

This was so so easy and absolutely delicious. My picky toddler devoured her dinner!! Prep took me 10-15 minutes and all I had to do after it was assembled was throw it in the oven and forget about it until the timer went off. (Which is super nice after a long day). My husband loved it and asked that it would be a regular in our household. It was awesome 10/10. I also love that this dish included my main entree and a sideโฆ so convenient that they were cooked together with no extra work or consumption of time!
We make this recipe often and it is always delicious. It is simple to make but big on taste. Always delicious!
That sounds fantastic! A simple recipe that’s big on taste is always a win. Thanks for sharing! ๐
I was worried about using boneless chicken thighsโฆbut hearing the potatoes in microwave, solved the problemโฆ. Extra sauce..good idea as wellโฆThank you
for a wonderful ideas โฆ๐๐๐
I’m glad the tips helped! Boneless chicken thighs are a great choice, and extra sauce always adds that special touch. Thank you for your kind words!
Used boneless thighs cut into cubes, doubled everything, and tripled the sauce (for dryness- my own fault, I’m picky) and it was amazing! Everybody loved it so much there were no leftovers. Very sweet and tangy with that dijon spice.
That sounds delicious! I’m glad your adjustments worked out so well. It’s always a win when there are no leftovers! Thanks for sharing your tweaks โ the extra sauce sounds perfect.:)
Simple, fast and very delicious!
I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! ๐
We partially cooked the potatoes in the microwave beforehand thus ensuring the potatoes were cooked without drying out the chicken.
Delicious recipe.
