Add mushrooms I added 4 oz. thick cut portabella mushrooms to leeks/onions--very yummy
We used boneless chicken breasts instead of bone-in and it was delicious! Not dried out at all! The only thing we'd do differently is to double the vegetables next time.
This was really easy and incredibly flavorful which surprised me because I'm not a huge fan of mustard. I baked 4 chicken thighs and 4 chicken drumsticks. I used whole-grain mustard because it's what I had on hand and I used dried thyme instead of fresh. Other than that the only addition I made was to add about a tablespoon of OJ to the mustard sauce because the whole-grain mustard made the sauce very thick. I spooned the onion mixture over the chicken when I served it. YUM! I will make this recipe again for sure.
Great for someone on a diet My daughter is on a diet and when she was in town I made it for her. It was a hit. It is hard to find ways to bake chicken and have it remain moist and very flavorful. Pros: It was a very flavorful way to make chicken.
This was amazingly tasty but next time I plan to use 2-3 times as many leeks.
I love leeks! That said I was sad that this recipe didn't live up to it's comments and rating. My taste buds were confused while eating this dish it appeared that I had two different kinds of chicken. The flavor from the chicken resting on the onions leeks garlic & herbs might have been good but it was overpowered by the dijion sauce that was placed on the top. Unfortuately the sauce was too heavy on the top and did not work well with the onion leeks and garlic.
I was skeptical about this recipe because I have never cooked with leeks before but it turned out great. The leeks and onions had amazing flavor and the chicken was very moist. It was extremely easy to make yet it tasted like a special meal. We will be making this again!
This is an awesome dish! Super flavorful and makes the house smell great! The first time I made this I made it exactly per the recipe - fantastic. The next time I added some sliced fennel with the leeks. Really great!
I had no leeks on hand so I made this recipe with a larger quantity of onions. I also included a handful of whole garlic cloves instead of mincing them. The chicken was delicious - tender almost falling off the bone. My family including the children loved it. I added a small amount (maybe 1 tsp) of honey to the sauce which turned out quite well and left the rosemary out. The garlic cloves were lovely and soft enough to spread on bread which is quite nice. A great deal of broth collected in the pan and so I did not think much of the texture or color of the cooked onions. They do keep the meat very moist but are not very edible in my opinion especially as they sort of baste in the fat from the chicken skin. Overall great flavor to the dish. Plan to make other veggies to serve alongside!
