- Before starting, preheat oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
- Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Roast in the middle of the oven for 18-22 min, until golden and cooked through.**
- Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
