Honey Mustard Baked Chicken with Potatoes & Bacon
Report
This is one of those dishes that is easy enough for mid week but fancy enough for a dinner party. The flavour of the sauce is incredible. It's got the chicken juices mixed in as well as bacon. A fully loaded one pan meal!

Instructions
Potatoes
- Cook potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Chicken
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet / frypan over medium high heat. Add HALF the bacon and cook until lightly browned. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Turn the stove down to medium. Add the chicken into the pan, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes or until very lightly browned and chicken fat has "melted" into the pan. Turn the chicken over and cook for 2 minutes, then remove chicken onto a plate.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of the fat in the pan over the potatoes, then pour off and discard the rest. Return the pan to the stove.
- Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion is lightly browned and translucent - about 2 minutes.
- Add wine into the pan and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan to mix in with the sauce. Bring to simmer and cook for 2 minutes or so, or until you can no longer smell alcohol fumes.
- Add the remaining Mustard Sauce ingredients and cooked bacon and stir to combine. Then add the chicken and potatoes back into the pan, sprinkle over remaining bacon.
- Bake for 40 - 50 minutes (no cover), or until chicken and potatoes are golden brown.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh thyme leaves and/or parsley, if desired.
Notes
- My preference when baking is to use skin on, bone in chicken thighs as the chicken is juicier. The chicken fat is rendered out and discarded before baking.
- You can substitute the wine with salt reduced chicken broth + 1 tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp sugar.
- The alcohol in the wine is cooked out so this dish is suitable for children. :)
- The water amount required might differ depending on what size pan you use and how crowded it is. If your sauce has thickened too much, just add a splash of water to thin it out to the right consistency. If your sauce is too thin for your taste, just remove the chicken and potatoes and return it to the oven. Excess liquid will evaporate very quickly and the sauce will thicken.
- You may find the sauce is sort of "separated" when you pull it out of the oven. When you are serving it, just give the sauce a quick mix with a spoon and it will come together in a flash.
- Nutrition per serving. This does not take into account the fat that is rendered out and discarded. 120 calories is attributable to the bacon so if you want to reduce the calories, you could either leave out the bacon or use lean turkey bacon.
