Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 1
Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

  1. 2 slices bacon
  2. 2 skinless chicken breasts
  3. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  4. ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  5. 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  6. ¼ cup sour cream
  7. 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon slices, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Place on a plate to cool. Crumble with your fingers and set aside.
  2. Cook chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip over and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange Cheddar cheese on top of each breast and let melt.
  4. Arrange baby spinach on a serving plate. Place the chicken on top. Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chives.
