Ingredients

4 Bone-in chicken thighs, skin on
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground black pepper
1 shallot, sliced crosswise into 1/8" thick rings
1 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1 Can Serious Bean Co. Mustard BBQ Beans

2 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced 1/2"
1/2 tsp Salt

Directions

Mustard Bean Braised Chicken

Heat oven to 400°F. Place an oven safe skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then place skin side down in the hot skillet.
Cook the chicken on the skin side until golden brown and crisp - approximately 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a plate with the skin facing up.
Cook the shallots and garlic in the skillet until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Add the Mustard Q beans to the skillet and stir.
Place the chicken back in the skillet with the skin side down so it rests on top of the Mustard Q beans.
Once the chicken skin has been coated with the sauce from the beans, flip the chicken over so the skin faces up.
Place the skillet in the oven on the middle rack.

Sweet Potatoes

Place the sweet potatoes in a microwave safe bowl and cook uncovered for 3 minutes.
Stir the sweet potatoes and cook another 3 minutes.
Add the salt, pepper, brown sugar, and butter to the sweet potatoes and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Let the potatoes rest at room temperature to finish cooking.

Sprinkle the chicken with the fresh chopped herbs.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher, then mound in the middle of the chicken and beans.

Recipe Note

NOTE: For food safety, the internal temperature of the chicken needs to reach 165°F.
