Baked Chicken with Onions & Leeks

Ingredients

2 cups thinly sliced onions

1 cup thinly sliced and washed leek, white and light green part only

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

¼ teaspoon salt

2 1/2-3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks and/or breasts), skin removed, trimmed (see Tip)

¼ cup Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons minced shallot

1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Toss onions, leek, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, thyme and salt in a large bowl until the vegetables are well coated. Spread the mixture in a nonreactive 9-by-13-inch baking dish (see Tip). Place the chicken pieces on the vegetables. Bake for 10 minutes.

Whisk mustard, shallot, rosemary, soy sauce and pepper in a small bowl; gradually whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

After 10 minutes, brush the chicken with the mustard glaze. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a leg or breast (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 45 minutes more. Serve the chicken with the vegetables. How many pounds have you lost this month? At Dieta Efectiva you can lose 10-12 lbs your first week and 2-5 lbs every week after.
