Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).

  2. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  3. In a large oven‑proof pan, spread the baby potatoes in an even layer and scatter the lardons over them.

  4. Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the potatoes and lardons, skin side up.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken rests skin side up over the potatoes. Keep the skin exposed so it can brown.

  5. Brush the Dijon mustard evenly over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is coated.

  6. Pour the white wine into the pan, allowing it to mingle with the potatoes and lardons.

  7. Add the cream, stirring gently to combine with the wine and create a creamy base.

  8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 167°F (165°F) and the potatoes are fork‑tender.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is cooked through and potatoes yield to a fork. Check the thickest part of the chicken.

  9. If the chicken skin is not golden enough, switch the oven to broil for the last 3‑5 minutes, watching closely.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Skin turns golden and crisp. Watch closely while broiling.

  10. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Juices settle as the chicken rests. Rest before carving or serving.

  11. Serve the chicken pieces with the roasted potatoes and spoon the pan sauce over the top.
