Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and dried thyme until evenly coated. Let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and sear 2 minutes more. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: Add minced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until translucent. Add carrots and parsnips, then pour in chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, nestling pieces into the vegetables. Scatter fresh thyme sprigs over top. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender.
Step 5: Remove lid, increase oven heat to broil for 2-3 minutes to lightly crisp the chicken skin, then serve immediately.
