Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 bacon slices, securing with toothpicks, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side until bacon starts to crisp, then transfer skillet to oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
3. Step 3: While chicken bakes, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden and tender, then stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Pour in heavy cream and thyme, simmer for 4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, then season with remaining salt and pepper.
