One Pan Dijon Chicken and Potatoes

This easy one pan dijon chicken and potatoes is so yummy and such a great dinner option! The caramelized onions, roasted potatoes, juicy chicken and dijon glaze give this dish so much flavor! 

I absolutely love one pan meals! They are all the rage right now and for a good reason. You just can’t beat cooking the whole meal in one pan and it really helps marinate all the wonderful flavors together.

If you love dijon, you have to make this dish! I promise you won’t be disappointed. The flavors are unreal…it tastes like it came straight from the restaurant. The sauce is seriously divine and it really takes this meal over the top. It does have more of a sweeter flavor, so feel free to cut back on the sugar if you don’t want the sauce to be as sweet. I was so glad it made a lot so that I could pour the extra sauce over the chicken and potatoes once they were plated. So yummy and such a good dinner option!
