Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon chopped
- 6 medium chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 5 ounces baby spinach
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon the bacon grease in the pan.
- Season the thighs with salt and pepper and add to the pan, laying them flat if they are folded up. Cook 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove to a plate.
- Add the butter and let melt. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, 2 or 3 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and the parmesan and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the bacon back into the sauce and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and toss to coat. Sprinkle the pan with crumbled feta.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
