Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Bacon:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
Sauté the Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Creamed Spinach:
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Add the Italian seasoning and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Simmer:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy spinach and mushroom mixture.
- Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top.
- Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Serve:
- Transfer the smothered chicken to a serving platter, spooning the creamy spinach, bacon, and mushroom sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot, alongside your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad.
