Chap from Dijon at hand (8)
I believe the answer is:
jonathan
'chap' is the definition.
'from dijon at hand' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'JONATHAN' is hidden in the letters of 'dijon at hand'.
(Other definitions for jonathan that I've seen before include "David and - - (Old Testament)" , "Friend of David (OT)" , "Author of 'Gulliver's Travels', . . . . . . . . Swift" , "Man's name" , "- - Dimbleby (TV/Radio)" .)
