Directions
Preheat oven to 400degreesF. In medium skillet over medium heat, place
bacon and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook
until very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in mustard, cream and
white wine. Add crumbled bacon pieces. Place pear slices in the bottom
of 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. Place chicken breasts on top of
pears. Spoon mustard sauce over chicken; sprinkle with chopped thyme.
Place chicken in oven and bake 40 - 45 minutes, until chicken is brown
and cooked through and pears are tender. Baste chicken with sauce as it
