Set aside on baking sheet next to onions. Shake off excess flour from chicken, add 3 Tbsp olive oil to the skillet and add chicken. Cook unilt brown and done, around 6 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet with mushrooms and onions. Put tomato paste and garlic in skillet on meduim heat. Cook 2 minutes and then deglaze pan with 1/2 bottle of wine, making sure to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom. While the wine comes to a simmer, add thyme, chicken, mushrooms, onions and let simmer for 3 minutes. If sauce is too thick add more wine to desired thickness. Add butter, stir until melted and taste to adjust seasonings, if needed.
Drain pasta, transfer to large serving bowl and top with chicken and wine sauce. Garnish w/parsley and crumbled bacon.
