In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels and refrigerate. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, heat skillet, adding half of the chicken at a time, cooking until browned, turning once, about 10 minutes.

When you are read to assemble crockpot: Add chicken to the crockpot. In a skillet over low heat, add chopped onion, stirring frequently until softened, about 3 minutes. Add carrot, wine, tomato paste, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to the skillet. Pour over the chicken. Add mushrooms , frozen onions, and 1/4 of broth to the crockpot. Cover and refrigerate remaining broth. Cover, and cook on low 8 to 10 hours or 4 to 5 hours on high, until chicken is fork tender. At the end of the cooking time, transfer chicken to a deep serving platter with a slotted spoon. Cover to keep warm. In a small bowl, combine flour and reserved broth until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup of the hot liquid from the crockpot; stir the mixture back into the crockpot. Crumble in the bacon; cover and cook on high until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
