Ingredients: 4 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 4 fresh thyme sprigs plus 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, ½ pound (240 g) thick-cut bacon, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter,4 tablespoons extra-virgin oil, divided, ½ pound (240 g) chicken livers, trimmed, 1 medium shallot, minced, 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar, 1 cup (0.24 l) chicken stock

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400º F (200º C). Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Place fresh thyme sprig on each breast and wrap in a slice of bacon, then secure with a toothpick.

Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add wrapped chicken breasts and cook until the bacon is browned. Turn and roast for 10 minutes, or until tender. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon chopped thyme to the pan. Baste the chicken and let stay for 5 minutes.

Add to the skillet, cover and cook over medium-high heat until golden, for about 4 minutes. Add the shallots and minced garlic. Cook, stirring until softened. Stir in 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar and cook for further 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and stir remaining butter. Reduce heat to low and simmer until livers are firm.

Purée in a blender and strain through a fine sieve set over a saucepan. Mix in the remaining oil and vinegar, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir well.

Discard the toothpicks. Slice bacon-wrapped chicken breasts. Spoon the sauce onto plates and top with chicken.
