This mustard-glazed chicken is roasted on a bed of sliced onions, leeks and garlic which you can serve alongside it. It is a delectable meal in itself which you can eat with rice pasta. Add more pepper for some spice.

 

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 large onions, thinly sliced

4 stalks leeks, washed and the white and green parts thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/2-3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces, skin removed and trimmed

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons minced shallots

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

 

Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish with oil.

Combine the onions, leeks garlic, thyme, oil and salt in a large bowl. Toss well and make sure that the vegetables are coated in oil. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and place the chickens on top of it.

In a small bowl, combine the mustard, shallots, rosemary, soy sauce and pepper. Gradually add one tablespoon of oil. Continue to whisk until well combined.
