Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Season rabbit pieces with salt and black pepper.

Sear rabbit in the pot until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes; remove and set aside.

Add chopped onions and garlic to the pot; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in carrots and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add Dijon mustard and mix well to coat vegetables.

Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot; simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Return rabbit to the pot; add thyme, bay leaves, and chicken stock to cover.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low; braise for 1-1.5 hours until rabbit is tender.

Remove rabbit and keep warm; strain sauce if desired.

Increase heat to reduce sauce for 5-10 minutes until thickened.

Serve rabbit topped with sauce and garnish with parsley.
