Ingredients
- 5 slices bacon cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces
- 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fustini's Tuscan Spice blend
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb. total)
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fustini's Garlic olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Fustini's 18 Year Traditional balsamic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 5 oz. of baby spinach (about 5 packed c.)
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large, high-sided, cast-iron or nonstick skillet, spread bacon and mushrooms in an even layer. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp and mushrooms are tender and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape the bacon mixture onto a paper towel&ndash,lined plate. Discard any remaining bacon grease.
- Season chicken all over with Tuscan spices, salt, and pepper. In the same skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. If the chicken is browning too fast, turn the heat down. Transfer the chicken to another plate.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, cook garlic, stirring, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vinegar, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, syrupy, and reduced by about half, about 1 minute. Add cream, broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, whisking until smooth, then continue to simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add spinach and Parmesan and cook, stirring, until spinach is just wilted about 1 minute. Return chicken and bacon mixture to skillet and cook, turning chicken to coat in sauce and heat through, about 2 minutes more.
