Mustard-and-Herb Chicken
- Two 1-inch slices of country bread, crusts removed, bread torn
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 boneless skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- In a food processor, pulse the bread until finely shredded.
- Add the garlic, rosemary and Parmesan, season with salt and pepper and pulse until combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and pulse just until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Transfer to a small bowl.
- In a medium, ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet, skin side down.
- Cook over moderately high heat until golden, about 6 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and spread the skin with the mustard.
- Carefully spoon the bread crumbs onto the chicken, patting them on with the back of the spoon.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chicken for about 15 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add the onion and sugar, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until softened, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and cook until the liquid has evaporated, 2 minutes longer.
- Spoon the onion mixture onto 2 plates, top with the chicken and serve.
