Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the bacon slices. Cook over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, followed by the crumbled bacon. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until it wilts.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
