  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb potatoes cut into chunks
  • 3 carrots cut into chunks

  • 3 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp stone ground mustard
  • 6 tbsp water

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a blender, add all ingredients for the date mustard and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat ghee in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken skin side down for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minute. Remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the juices in the pan.
  4. Add minced garlic to the pan and stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the date mustard sauce and stir scraping the bottom of the pan until it starts bubbling.
  5. Add potatoes and carrots and stir to coat in the sauce.
  6. Remove from heat and add the chicken thighs back in skin side up, nestling them in the vegetables.
  7. Place in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Garnish with parsley, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and serve.
