🍗🥬🍄 Smothered Chicken with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, and Mushrooms (Page 2 ) | January 21, 2025

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder 🧂🌶️🧄.
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat 🫒🔥.
   • Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) 🍗.
   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
2. Make the Creamed Spinach, Bacon, and Mushrooms:
   • In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon 🥓 and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan 🍳.
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms 🍄 and cook for about 5 minutes, until they’re softened and lightly browned.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant 🧄.
   • Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes 🥬.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer 🥛.
   • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and dried thyme 🌿🧀. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste 🧂🌶️.
   • Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and stir to combine 🥓.
3. Assemble the Dish:
   • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy spinach, bacon, and mushroom mixture 🍗.
   • Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to combine all the flavors 🍽️.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the smothered chicken hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired 🧀🌿.
   • Pair with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad for a complete meal 🥗🍚.
