  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet, cover it with a tin foil tent, and set it aside.
  6. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Add the minced garlic, and cook stirring continuously for 1 minute.
  7. Add the drained diced tomatoes and white beans. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes. 
  8. Add the spinach and bacon crumbles, season with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and dried basil, to taste. Pour the juices from the chicken into the pan and mix well.
