Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 4 strips turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

- Stir in the crispy turkey bacon and let simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thick.
- Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
