Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a knob of butter. Add the diced onion, potato, carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly tender.
In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, honey, orange zest, and juice.
Pour the mustard-honey mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
