Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

Season the Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook the Bacon:

In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.

Cook the Chicken:

In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic:

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Spinach and Cream:

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Combine and Serve:

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamed spinach and mushroom mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces on top.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Smothered Chicken with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, and Mushrooms!
