If there’s one kind of food that really cuts the mustard, it’s German cuisine! This seasonally appropriate skillet stuffer showcases seared chicken thighs, and uses the same pot to cook small-diced spuds (das Kartoffeln) and shredded cabbage (das Kraut) along with extra colour from butternut squash. As promised, the skillet is finished with a dash of whole-grain mustard and a splash of apple cider vinegar for telltale tanginess. Spiced sour cream is a side note.

Preparation
Start the chicken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large, oven-safe pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, 4 to 5 min. on one side, until seared. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pot. Reserve the pot.
Start the skillet
Meanwhile, small-dice the potatoes. In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the potatoes, cabbage, squash and S&P. Sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
Finish the skillet & chicken
To the pot of vegetables, add ½ cup water, 1 tbsp butter (double both for 4 portions), the vinegar, demi-glace, mustard, all but a pinch of the remaining spices and chicken. Cover, transfer to the oven and roast, 18 to 22 min., until slightly reduced and the chicken* is cooked through.
Make the spiced sour cream
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the skillet between your plates. Dollop the spiced sour cream over top. Bon appétit!
