Directions
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then add it to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside. The tremendous aroma in the kitchen will entice your family to gather around and get ready for a delightful meal.
-
In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook it until crispy. This step is crucial for bringing some crunchy texture to the dish. Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and set it aside as well.
-
Now, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them until they are nicely browned and release their juices, about 5 minutes. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms will enhance the depth of this dish tremendously.
-
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it has wilted down, releasing its vibrant green color into the mix. This will take just a couple of minutes.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine the mixture. Bring this to a gentle simmer; the cream will start to thicken and envelop the other ingredients.
-
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. The addition of this cheese not only enriches the flavor but also adds a creamy texture making every bite delightful.
-
Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the skillet, nestling them into the creamed spinach mixture. Allow everything to meld together and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Serve the smothered chicken warm, ensuring everyone gets a generous portion of that tremendous creamed spinach sauce on their chicken. Enjoy!
