Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400°F) and place the rack in the middle.
In a large bowl, add all the ingredients. Remove the leaves from 3-4 thyme springs and add to the bowl. Toss it together with your hands.
Place all the flavorings in the tray and spread around. Place chicken breasts on top, wrap with smoked bacon strip, and add a whole thyme spring on top of each breast. Drizzle with olive oil.
