Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or regular salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 5 ounces Bacon
For The Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ⅓ cup dry white wine Pinot Grigio/Gris, Sauv Blanc, Riesling - substitute with low-sodium chicken stock or broth
- 1 ½ cups half and half thickened cream or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder substitute with salt or stock powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- Season chicken with seasoning salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until crispy and cooked through (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- To the same pan or skillet, add the bacon and fry until crispy. Transfer to plate, set aside. Drain some of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
- Heat butter in the pan and sauté onion until transparent. Sauté garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add in the white wine to deglaze the pan while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan; simmer for 3-4 minutes or until wine has reduced by half.
- Pour in cream and Dijon, mix through and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook gently for a further minute to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Add the Parmesan and allow to melt through the sauce. Season with bullion powder and pepper, to taste.
- Add the spinach and allow to wilt. Return chicken to the skillet. Top with the crispy bacon. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Tip: Use skinless, boneless chicken thighs for the best flavour and results. You can also use breasts if you wish.
