    4 strips  center-cut bacon, chopped
    1 pound  boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into thin cutlets
      kosher salt
      freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons  minced shallot
    2 cloves  garlic, minced
    ¾ cup  low-sodium chicken broth
    ½ cup  crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc (use broth for Whole30 or Paleo)
    1 teaspoon  chopped fresh thyme
    8 ounces  French green beans

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until brown and crisp. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Discard the majority of the bacon grease, leaving a very thin coating in the pan.
Season both sides of the chicken pieces with 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper and add to the skillet. Cook 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
Add the shallots to the now empty skillet and sauté 1 minute, scraping up brown bits. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds more. Add the broth, wine and thyme and stir. Add the green beans, increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and the green beans are crisp tender, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the chicken breasts and green beans to a serving platter. Season beans with 1/8 teaspoon salt and fresh pepper. Pour chicken juices into sauce with 1/8 teaspoon salt, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Pour sauce over the chicken and green beans and top with chopped bacon.
