Ingredients – Chicken

• 1 Chicken breast per person to be served
• 1 piece of bacon per person
• Swiss cheese slices
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1-2 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• Mozzarella Cheese – shredded

Ingredients – Chicken Sauce

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients – Spinach

• 1 10oz bag of Spinach
• 1 tbsp Better Than Bullion – chicken flavor
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

1. pre-cook your bacon until it’ slightly crispy but still flexible. I typically do this in the microwave because it’s easier but you can also do this in the same skillet (or cast iron pan!) you plan on cooking your chicken in for extra flavoring! Set aside.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into your chicken breast lengthwise. Be careful not to cut all the way through if possible, but the edges can be held together with toothpicks if you do – just make sure you remove them before serving!
3. Stuff each piece of your chicken breast with a piece of bacon and the sliced swiss cheese. Set aside.
4. Melt your 3 tbsp of butter in a skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Heat until your garlic is lightly browned.
5. Add stuffed chicken beasts to hot skillet. Flip and cook your chicken breasts until each side is nicely browned.
6. While your chicken breast is browning, add your sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and mix well. Simmer until all ingredients are melted together.
7. Transfer your chicken to an oven-safe baking dish if you did not use a cast iron pan. Pour your sauce over the chicken, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and transfer to an oven at 350 degrees until cheese is browned slightly and chicken is cooked through.
8. While your chicken is cooking start your spinach by boiling a medium-sized pan of water.
9. Add spinach and continue to boil until leaves are slightly wilted
10. Strain spinach and place in baking dish.
11. Whish together better than bullion and heavy whipping cream.
12. Pour bullion sauce over your spinach.
13. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and pop it in the oven beside your chicken for about 10 minutes.
14. Once the chicken is done and cheese over the spinach is nicely browned remove both dishes and serve!
