★Instructions
For the Chicken
- Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
For the Creamed Spinach
- Sauté the Spinach
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Make the Cream Sauce
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
For the Bacon and Mushrooms
- Cook the Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of butter for extra richness and stir until melted.
To Serve
