Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and pepper; add chicken to bowl; toss to coat. Let stand in the bowl while heating a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add bacon to skillet; cook, stirring until bacon starts to brown; remove bacon to a small bowl. Leave 1 T. bacon fat in the skillet; remove the excess. Add onion to the skillet; cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add thyme leaves; cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Transfer the onion to the bowl with the bacon.
Add the olive oil to the skillet; heat; add the chicken thighs, skin side down. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown; flip over; brown the second side. Place skillet with the chicken into the oven; cook for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
When chicken is cooked through, remove skillet from oven; transfer chicken to a plate/platter. Place skillet back on the stove-top over medium heat until hot; add wine; cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits, for about 1 minute. Add the grainy mustard and cream; stir to combine. Return the chicken, bacon and onion to the skillet; cook with the sauce until chicken is warm. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Serve garnished with fresh thyme leaves.
