Ingredients:
- 🍗 Chicken breasts – 500 grams
- 🥬 Fresh spinach – 200 grams
- 🥛 Heavy cream – 200 ml
- 🥓 Bacon – 150 grams
- 🍄 Mushrooms – 200 grams
- 🧄 Garlic – 2 cloves
- 🛢️ Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- 🧂 Salt – to taste
- 🧂 Black pepper – to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the ingredients: Wash the fresh spinach and drain it well. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. Finely chop the garlic cloves. Cut the bacon into small pieces.
-
Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
-
Cook the chicken: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
-
Sauté the mushrooms and garlic: In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and chopped garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
-
Add the spinach and cream: Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Then, pour in the heavy cream and mix well. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is warm and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
-
Combine everything: Slice the chicken breasts or leave them whole, depending on your preference. Add the chicken back to the skillet and coat it well with the creamy spinach sauce.
-
Serve: Plate the sautéed chicken, sprinkle the crispy bacon on top, and enjoy this delicious dish. Serve with white rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Additional Tips:
For extra flavor, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce before serving. Garnish the dish with a few fresh spinach leaves for a nice presentation.
Enjoy your meal! 🍽️✨
