Cut the bacon and place in a large sauté pan over medium heat. - When the bacon is browned, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Remove all but 1 Tablespoon of the bacon fat. Add the onions to the skillet and turn to high heat. Cook until the onions begin to brown, add back the bacon.
- Add the chestnuts and brussels sprouts to the sauté pan with the bacon and onions. Add the chicken stock and grape juice and toss to combine. Stir in the thyme, salt and pepper to taste . Cook on high heat for 3 minutes.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges, and squeeze a little lemon juice over the sprouts right before you eat them...Mmmm.
