Step 1: Sprinkle chicken thighs with pepper. Melt 1 tbsp butter in large, deep non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Brown chicken well on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes (leave the chicken in the skillet).
Step 2: Combine potatoes, sauce mix, hot water, milk and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in medium bowl. Pour into the skillet. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 3: Gently stir in the vegetables, cover and cook over medium heat an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are heated through and sauce is as thick as you like. Stir occasionally. (Sauce will thicken slightly as it stands).
Step 4: Meanwhile, combine cheese, bacon and green onion. Sprinkle over chicken mixture. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
