Savory Chicken with Bacon and Herbed Mustard Sauce

In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
2
Spread the mustard paste evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts and set aside.
3
In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium-high heat until it starts to brown; then transfer to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
4
In the same skillet with bacon fat, add chopped onion and cook until softened; transfer onions to the plate with the bacon.
5
Add olive oil to the same skillet and cook chicken breasts on medium heat for about 1.5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken and set aside on a separate plate.
6
Pour chicken broth into the skillet, bring to a boil, and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits.
7
Add bacon, onions, and chopped thyme to the skillet; mix well.
8
Return chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce heat to low-medium, and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
