Description

A delicious and creamy dish of smothered chicken topped with sautéed spinach, bacon, and mushrooms.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for 5 minutes until soft and browned.
  6. Add spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy spinach, bacon, and mushroom mixture over the top. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat everything through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
