🍗 Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Bacon 🥓

A Delicious Twist on Dinner: Quick to Prepare, Impossible to Resist!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 6 strips of bacon, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, keeping some of the grease in the skillet.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Using the same skillet, add olive oil and sear the chicken on each side for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they're soft. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
5. Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and add the fresh spinach, cooking just until the spinach has wilted.
6. Place the seared chicken back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
7. Serve the chicken hot, topped with extra sauce from the skillet.
