Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together vinegar, tomato juice, oil, thyme, mustard, sugar and garlic; bring to boil over high heat. Boil, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thick enough to coat back of spoon.
Set aside 1/4 cup to serve with chicken.
Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Remove mushroom stems. Arrange vegetables cut side up, in 13x9-inch cake pan. Spoon half of the sauce over mushrooms only; sprinkle both vegetables with cheese.
Bake on lower rack in 400°F oven for 10 minutes.
Pull skin from chicken; score 3 times. Coat with some of the remaining sauce. Broil, turning and brushing with sauce once, for 12-15 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Season chicken and vegetable with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sauce.
