Cook bacon until beginning to brown in large skillet; add onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Saut\u00c3\u00a9 until onion is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add thyme and bay leaf; saut\u00c3\u00a9 1 minute. Add beans and chicken stock; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until vegetable are tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain and discard any remaining stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Saut\u00c3\u00a9 chicken in oil until browned on all sides in large skillet; drain and cool. Preheat oven to 350\u00c2\u00ba F. Lay 1 phyllo sheet on clean surface; brush lightly with melted butter. Layer with 3 more sheets phyllo, brushing each with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with damp towel to prevent drying. Cut buttered phyllo stack into 4 equal squares. Place chicken breast piece in center of each square and top with about 1\/4 C. bean mixture. Fold sides of squares in and roll up to form packets. Place packets, seam side down on parchment-lined cookie sheet; brush tops of packets with melted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo, melted butter, chicken and bean mixture. Bake in preheated oven until phyllo is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Place on plates; serve with Thyme Butter Sauce.<\/p>\n
