One Skillet Chicken with Cream Cheese and Turkey Bacon

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm for about 1 minute.
2. Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
3. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the drippings behind.
4. In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Season them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and well combined.
6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Return the crispy turkey bacon to the skillet and mix it into the creamy chicken mixture. Optionally, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
8. Serve immediately, drizzling any extra sauce on top.
