Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken boneless
  • 6 slices Bacon diced
  • 10 oz Spinach
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 3.5 cups Chicken Broth low sodium is great
  • 1 cup Half and Half

Instructions

  • Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until cooked through. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • While bacon is cooking, mix together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning in a small bowl.
  • Dredge chicken on each side into the seasoned flour until coated. Shake off excess flour and set aside for later.
  • Once the bacon is removed from the pan, add half of the butter to the pan and allow to melt.
  • When the butter is melted, add the flour coated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes each side, until golden brown. Once cooked, remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add remaining butter to the pan and allow it to melt.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of the remaining seasoned flour to the pan and whisk for 1 minute until the butter and flour are well combined.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and half and half until the sauce is smooth.
  • Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the pan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes so that the bacon and chicken are soaked with the creamy sauce.
  • Add the spinach to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes so the spinach wilts a little. Then mix spinach into the sauce.
  • ENJOY!
