Skillet Garlic Dijon Chicken Recipe

Busy cooks, say hello to another no-fuss, comforting, skillet chicken recipe: garlic Dijon chicken. Be sure to watch the video for how to make this Dijon Chicken and see my suggestions for what to serve along (below).

When in doubt, it’s boneless chicken thighs to the rescue! I always keep them on hand because they are so easy to work with. And, honestly, they’re kinda hard to mess up (they don’t dry up as easily as chicken breasts do.)There are so many ways to dress up the humble thighs turning them into glorious dinners from balsamic chicken to chicken couscous–and find many more ideas in our easy chicken thigh recipes round up.

This time, I made a simple sauce with fresh garlic, Dijon mustard and a few favorite spices. The Dijon chicken goes in my regularly-used cast iron skillet for a quick bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. The kitchen smells like heaven!

What to serve with this Garlic Dijon Chicken

This garlic Dijon Chicken is quite a versatile dish that you can pair up with your favorite sides. I usually make this easy Lebanese rice and vermicelli or these Greek potatoes. OR, try these easy roasted veggies. And to brighten things up, add this loaded Balela salad or my lazy  3-ingredient Mediterranean salad.
