FIRSTLY Combine chicken with the marinade ingredients and set aside for half an hour as everything else comes together.

THEN Heat oven to 200°C.
Cut vegetables and combine all ingredients in your Ironclad Pan. Mix well.
Roast for 15 minutes, then mix gently so unroasted veges are on top and roast for another 15 minutes.

NOW Wrap chicken breasts in bacon.
Remove veges from oven, mix gently again.
Push all the veges to the sides of the Ironclad pan so you can nestle the chicken breasts in the middle. Pour any remaining marinade over the meat.  
Bake for 20 minutes till chicken is cooked and bacon crunchy brown.
