Last year, I created a new recipe: Baked Mustard Chicken with Courgette and Potatoes. I was looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into our meals, and courgettes seemed the perfect addition. My daughter was hesitant about trying the courgettes the first time I made the dish, but she loved the mix of baked onions and potatoes. It was a small victory, but I was happy to see her enjoying a new vegetable.
Since then, Baked Mustard Chicken with Courgette and Potatoes has become a regular dish in our household. It's a nutritious and easy meal that we all enjoy. I love experimenting with different spices and seasonings to keep the recipe interesting. And my daughter has been enjoying the dish more and more with each serving. It's always a proud moment for me when she tries and enjoys something new.
This recipe symbolizes our family's love for trying new things and incorporating healthy foods into our meals. It's a reminder that sometimes, it takes one new ingredient to change someone's perspective on a dish. And for us, that ingredient was courgette.
Ingredients:
1 Whole Chicken, cleaned
3 tbsp Honey Dijon mustard
1.5 tbsp Dijon Seed mustard
3-5 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 courgettes, sliced

In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard until well combined.
Place the chicken in a bowl, and marinate for 1 hour with salt, paper ad olive oil all over the outer and inner layers.
Arrange the sliced courgettes, potatoes and onions on a big baking pan, and add olive oil, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the thyme, add chopped lemon and 1-2 tsp mustard sauce inside the chicken's cavity, and then tie the chicken legs together. Cover the entire chicken with mustard sauce.
Place a baking rack on top of the vegetables and place the whole chicken on top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly golden.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional), and serve hot.
