Honey Mustard Chicken Dinner Recipe

Chicken Ingredients:

-4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
-1 tbsp olive oil
-⅛ cup Dijon mustard
-⅛ cup honey
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1 tsp salt
-½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Chicken Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2) Pat chicken dry with paper towels
3) Season with salt and pepper, making sure to get under the skin as well
4) In a small bowl, mix together the dijon mustard, honey, garlic and olive oil.
5) Place the chicken in a small 8×8 baking dish, and cover with the honey mustard sauce.
6) Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature 175 degrees.
7) Broil on high for 2 minutes, if you want to brown the chicken more.

Smashed Potato Ingredients:

-1.5 lbs. little yellow potatoes, washed
-2 tbsp olive oil, divided
-2 garlic cloves, peeled and slightly smashed
-2 bay leaves
-2 tsp salt, divided

Smashed Potato Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2) In a medium pot, cover potatoes with cold water (at least 1 inch above the tops of the potatoes).
3) Add 1 tsp salt, garlic clove and bay leaf to the pot and bring to a boil.
4) Once the water is boiling, lower to simmer, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until you can easily put a fork in the potatoes.
5) Drain and place back in the pot and coat with 1 tbsp olive oil.
6) Spread them out on a baking sheet, at least 1 inch apart.
7) Using a large, heavy kitchen object (like a heavy glass measuring cup), gently smash down on the potatoes, so they are about ½ inch thick and you can see the insides.
8) Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper.
9) Bake for 30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Brussels Sprouts Ingredients:

    Best sous chef ever! It's wonderful to see Dad in the kitchen too, that will help Sophia see the different roles Moms and Dads can be in the family. You are teaching her so much.

    "That's my mom and that's your friend " was too funny to me. Sophia was such a good little helper. She's so much fun to watch.

    Sophia is such a great eater! Helping to make the food is always a great way to make them interested in food.

    She is so fun! I miss my baby at this age. He’s 21 now and still such a great kiddo. I love reliving his toddler era through Sophia ❤❤❤❤
    Thanks to you both for sharing your little angel with all of us ❤

    Very cute, and a great learning experience for her, but part of learning to cook is learning to put your hair up out of the way before you start.
