Instant Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs Recipes

MAPLE DIJON GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice vinegar.
• Put the whole package of chicken thighs into an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easy clean up).
• Salt and pepper the thighs.
• Pour maple mustard mixture over top, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.
• Put the chicken thighs in the oven, and let them bake for about 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
• Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce halfway through cooking time. Use the sauce that is in the pan for basting.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Sprinkle with rosemary if desired.

MAPLE DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Mix Dijon mustard, onion, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and rosemary together in a bowl. Pour into the slow cooker. Ensure sauce covers the chicken.
• Cook on High until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 hours.

DIJON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over chicken thighs.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip thighs over and turn heat off. Remove skillet from heat.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter for sauce over medium heat in a saucepan. Add shallot once foam subsides and sauté until soft and just golden, about 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and pour in whiskey.
• Return saucepan to heat and allow flame to burn off the alcohol. Add cream, Dijon, and maple syrup and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken thighs. Reserve remaining sauce.
• Carefully transfer the cast iron skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Add thyme to the reserved sauce, and spoon over chicken thighs to serve.
