Method
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In medium skillet over medium heat, place bacon and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook until very soft and sweet, 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 cooks.
Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
