Cooking Notes
Such a unique and delicious flavor! No one knows what it is. After making this 3 times, from now on I will- Use 2 sheet pans Put all the chicken on one and give it a 10 min head start. Arrange vegetables on the other sheet pan. Pull out chicken from oven and place on top of veggies with any of the cooking juices. Bake another 10-15 min til done This should eliminate the overcooked book Choi or whatever veg you chose
Used boneless skinless chicken thighs so only cooked for 20 minutes
I made this mostly as described, except I halved everything but the bok choy and used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. This is what "fusion" food is supposed to be. It doesn't taste like "Asian food with a bit of something", or like "French cooking with a twist". One doesn't really taste the dijon, the ginger, the garlic, or the miso. It doesn't taste specifically salty, or spicy, or sweet. One tastes only the "umami" - the savory combination of all of the above. Delicious and easy! Bravo!
Who knew ginger would pair so well with Dijon Mustard? I used skin-on bone-in thighs and rubbed some of the marinade under the skin. I had no scallions so I substituted minced shallots, which were great. I did put the thighs under the broiler for a few minutes after baking. Enthusiastic thumbs up for a weeknight dinner.
Follow-up: I DO NOT suggest cooking with the skin-on (and I love crispy skin). The sauce, if coated all over thigh by dipping thigh into a large bowl with sauce (vs recipe's suggestion to pat on top of thighs in pan before cooking) will preserve moisture and still give you a great semi-crust. Cooking with the skin-on will NOT bring the flavors into the chicken. Trust me...it's a great recipe but is not intended to be skin-on!
really good and easy - used soy sauce instead of miso paste but still came out really well
I cook, a lot. This dish IS amazing...incredibly good and super easy. After mixing the sauce/coating, I put sauce into a large bowl and dipped individual thighs to coat it well before placing chicken on sheet pan. I did not cook lemon wedges, but saved them to squeeze fresh over plated chicken (adds another dimension on flavor). Use bone-in thighs to preserve flavor and moisture (vs boneless filets), trimming excess fat when removing skin. MAKE THIS NOW! Happy Holidays
The chicken was pretty good but the bok choy was really burned after 30 minutes in the oven on 450 degrees.
I make the marinade of scallions, mustard, ginger, etc., in a large ziplock baggie. I seal the bag and smoosh it all around with my fingers. They I drop the chicken pieces into the bag, reseal it, smoosh it all around some more until the pieces are coated. Then I proceed with the bok choy etc in the sheet pan. Saves a lot of clean up -- no bowl to clean up, and you can pop the sealed bag with chicken in fridge for awhile to finish the marinade.
We tried this with broccoli instead of bok choy, and while the chicken was excellent, the broccoli stole the show. I wondered if the temp and duration was going to give me burned veg but that didn't happen at all. Roasted at 450 for close to 40 minutes. Yum!
This will be a staple for us. It was delicious. I added cashews on top and used broccoli instead of bok choy. This Dijon mixture is the bomb and so versatile. I will use it for so many more recipes.
I’d seriously double the marinade. Also, making it with haddock right now
Best sheet pan chicken recipe I have cooked. The miso Dijon spread was incredibly flavorful and loved how juicy it made the thighs. I had only two large bone in thighs on hand so I removed the skin, halved the spread but used all the organic baby bok choy. I had some Yukon gold potatoes so I cut them up and put them on one side of my sheet pan. The potatoes were a delicious addition as they soaked up the flavors of the chicken and spread but crisped up with high heat.
I used celery stalks, leaves and all in place of the bok choy and it was delicious.
Double veggies. Added a little sesame oil.
This was delicious I will definitely cook it again. I think I would try it with broccoli next time. I did happen to have baby bok choy but they came out so greasy baking with the chicken on top. Cooking the vegetables separately and then adding just for the last 10 minutes is a good idea too.
Not rice, not potatoes :: This recipe is FIRE with quinoa. So good. Slicing the chicken and turning it into a bowl for the beach tomorrow!
Great flavor! add broccoli later in the process or it gets overcooked
Remove skin.
This was a hit, great balance of flavors and so easy. My modifications: used boneless skinless thighs and marinated them in the sauce for an hour prior, then smushed the sauce all over the chicken on the roasting pan. Roasted them separately from the bok choy for 20-25 minutes and added lemon wedges/slices around chicken. When 10 minutes away from done, roasted bok choy separately. When done, gently mixed all together. Spooned pan juices over. Delicious and not over charred!
Don't see why the 5 star rating. this was rather banal. without the lemon, it's quite bland. I followed recipe , only adding mushroom to the bok choy for more variety. Partner (who always has a second plate) opted for leftovers from the night before rather than a second helping of this. Disappointing.
I found that at 450 the oil will smoke heavily. I'd keep it closet to 400
Flavour was great, didn’t like the chicken thighs. Will try chicken breasts next time and cook longer.
One of my favorites. I marinate the chicken for a few hours. Try to use large Bok Choy, and cook the chicken in the upper third of the oven for about 30 minutes at 450. They are then served with roasted yams. This is a succulent flavorful recipe.
Really good, fairly easy and not bad cleanup. I wonder if next time I should put the chicken skins in the pan, too, just to render the schmaltz out into the rest of the pan drippings, which were a bit thin.
For those who like the crispy skin, don't throw it away. Give it a sprinkle of salt and pop it in the air fryer at 400 for 15 min., flipping at halfway point and serve on top of your beautifully cooked chicken.. yum!
Delicious! With broccoli.
I didn't have any bok choy, but made the sauce anyway for chicken thighs. It was delicious - served over couscous and with a salad on the side. And the leftover thigh was incredible the next day!
Really good
Made this with boneless skinless breasts and regular (not baby) bok choy. 30 minutes at 425 was perfect. I want to turn the marinade into a salad dressing.
