Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by chopping the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and dicing the bacon, onion, and garlic. Gather your ingredients in one place.
- In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the bacon pieces. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
- Using the same skillet with bacon drippings, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the chopped chicken to the skillet, seasoning it with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to create a rich sauce. If using mozzarella, sprinkle it in now to melt.
- Gently fold the crispy bacon back into the skillet, mixing it with the creamy chicken and spinach mixture.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed before serving hot.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
