These creamy Mustard Chicken things are whipped up in minutes and a perfect recipe for hosting.
If you’re looking fo an easy yet impressive dish for your next gathering, these creamy mustard chicken thighs are a must try. Ready in minutes, they’re rich, comforting and perfect for feeding a crowd.
When it comes to hosting, I love recipes that go beyond the usual weeknight dinner – something with bold flavours that surprise and delight my guests. This dish does just that, thanks to the perfect balance of creamy richness and a tangy mustard kick.
One of the best parts? You can prepare the recipe ahead of time, making it ideal for stress-free entertaining. There’s something so nostalgic about a home-cooked meal that fills the kitchen with warmth, just like the comforting dishes from childhood – ready in no time yet packed with flavour.
The real magic of this dish lies in the sauce: a velvety cream base infused with thym and whole grain mustard from the Moutarderie de Luxembourg, balanced by the subtle acidity of white wine. It’s a more elegant take on the classic mustard sauces often enjoyed with Wäinzoossis, giving this dish a sophisticated yet familiar feel.
Try these creamy mustard chicken thighs for your next dinner party – you’ll love how effortlessly delicious they are! I’ve served these to different groups of friends, and every time, they were a huge hit. I can say that the juicy chicken definitely got rave reviews.

Creamy Mustard Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 120 g pancetta
- 8 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 5 thyme sprigs
- 80 ml white wine
- 120 ml cream
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. First fry the pancetta and the chicken thighs on all sides, then transfer both ingredients to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Reduce the pan to medium heat and add the onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened. Press in the garlic, stir, then add the thyme and fry for another minute.
- Now pour in the wine, add the mustard, give it a good stir and let it briefly simmer before returning the chicken and pancetta to the pan.
- Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through. This usually takes another 20 minutes.
- Once the chicken is soft and tender, lower the heat and add the cream. Stir it through and taste if more seasoning is needed. Let it simmer a few more minutes until the sauce becomes slightly thicker.
- I usually serve the chicken with a green salad and orzo.
- Enjoy!!!
