Open chicken breasts; lay flat between plastic wrap on work surface. With flat end of meat mallet, pound each breast to flatten to ¼-inch thickness; remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper.

- In large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts, oil and remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper; add Brussels sprouts around chicken and bake 40 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°, bacon is crisp and Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp. Makes about 3 cups Brussels sprouts.
