Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 slices of bacon, chopped

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Preparing the Chicken:

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon. Cook until it’s crispy, then remove it and set it aside with the cooked chicken.

Making the Creamy Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and the cheese is melted.
  4. Return the cooked chicken and crispy bacon to the skillet. Add fresh spinach leaves and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.

Serving:

  1. Garnish the Creamy Bacon Chicken with fresh parsley before serving.
