Honey Dijon Chicken
The chicken, potatoes and shallots get seasoned with a simple spice blend, then topped with a honey dijon marinade which adds the perfect flavor to this dish. I love using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks for a juicy chicken with maximum flavor.

What You’ll Need to make Honey Dijon Chicken
This one-pan meal takes only 15 minutes of prep time. Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe-
Honey dijon marinade: made with dijon mustard, honey, water or broth, paprika and salt & pepper
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs– this recipe can be made with thighs or drumsticks, or a combination of both
Baby yellow potatoes and shallots: the potatoes absorb so much of that delicious sauce, while the shallots caramelize in the oven adding a touch of sweetness
- Add the baby potatoes and shallots to your pan and season lightly with olive oil and salt
- Place the chicken on top of the veggies and season with your spice blend
- Prepare the marinade in a separate bowl and pour it over the chicken and veggies
- Bake covered on 375 F for 1 hour, then uncovered on 400 F for 30-35 minutes. I like to set it under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes
My braiser pan is my go-to baking dish for these types of recipes. It’s the perfect pan to serve in straight out of the oven, and makes this recipe that much simpler to make.
Spoon some of that sauce over the chicken before serving and garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. It’s the perfect weeknight dish that’s full of flavor- I know you guys are going to love it!

Ingredients
- 6 -8 bone-in chicken pieces, about 2 lbs. I used drumsticks and thighs
- 1 lb baby yellow potatoes or 4 large yellow potatoes, cubed
- 4 shallots
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh thyme or rosemary, to top
Honey Dijon Marinade
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup water or vegetable/chicken broth
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F
- Slice the shallots in half lengthwise and add them to a large oven-safe skillet, braiser pan or baking dish with the baby yellow potatoes. If you’re using larger potatoes, be sure to cut them into cubes so they cook evenly.
- Toss the veggies with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Place the chicken pieces on top of the veggies and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over the top.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and evenly coat the chicken with the spice mix.
- Prepare the honey dijon marinade by whisking together the mustard, honey, water, paprika and salt & pepper in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and veggies. I like to place some fresh rosemary or thyme around the pan before baking.
- Cover the pan and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and remove the lid. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
- Raise the oven temperature to 400 F and finish baking for another 30-35 minutes.
- Garnish with extra thyme or rosemary when serving
