Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, sauté shallots and garlic until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Deglaze the pan by adding Riesling and chicken broth; scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in heavy cream and thyme; let simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken and bacon to the skillet, allowing them to soak in the creamy sauce for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve hot over pasta or rice.
