Creamy Mustard Chicken With Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn them over and sprinkle them with one more teaspoon of salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 155 to 160 degrees and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce. If the onions aren't browned, cook them for another minute.
• Add the wine, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Add flour to a shallow bowl; place a large skillet over med-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter to the skillet.
• Dredge chicken in flour; season with salt and pepper.
• Add chicken to skillet; cook 7-8 minutes or until browned.
• Add in wine; scrape up browned bits as wine comes to a bubble; cook the liquid down, 30 seconds to a minute.
• Combine the half-and-half and mustard; pour over the chicken.
• Add grapes to the skillet and shake or toss to coat the chicken and grapes in the sauce.
• Lower heat to low and simmer 3-5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the couscous-bring the chicken broth and a drizzle of olive oil to a boil; add in the couscous.
• Remove pan from heat and cover; let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
• Serve mounds of couscous with chicken and grapes alongside or on top.
