Ingredients for Roasted Chicken Thighs with White Beans, Lemon, and Capers

  • 2 (425g) cans white beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons capers with brine

  • 40ml Dijon mustard

  • 8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 900g )

  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley

How to make Roasted Chicken Thighs with White Beans, Lemon, and Capers

Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 218°C. Toss beans and capers in a 13x9" baking dish and spread out evenly on bottom of pan. Spread 1 teaspoon mustard on skin of each chicken thigh and nestle, skin side up, into beans and capers. Arrange lemon slices under and around chicken and add enough water (about 80ml ) to come up sides of chicken by 1/2". Drizzle chicken with oil and season whole dish with salt and pepper.

Roast chicken, stirring and shaking dish halfway through, until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 74°C, about 35 minutes. If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.

Transfer chicken, beans, lemon slices, and capers to a serving platter. Spoon some of the pan sauce around chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
