This roasted chicken with Dijon sauce is a sophisticated yet simple dish that brings classic French flavours to your dinner table. By roasting the chicken on the bone, the meat stays incredibly succulent, while the skin achieves a beautiful golden crispness. The star of the show is the velvety pan sauce, made by deglazing the frying pan with dry white wine and shallots to capture every bit of savoury flavour from the roast.
As a dairy-free recipe, this dish uses clever substitutions to maintain a rich, comforting texture without the need for butter. It is an excellent choice for a midweek treat or a relaxed weekend lunch, pairs perfectly with steamed green beans or buttery mashed potatoes. Both elegant and approachable, it is a versatile addition to your repertoire of heart-healthy poultry recipes.
