Ingredients

For the main dish

• 3 chicken breasts, sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 ounce white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
• Italian seasoning to taste
• 4 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 4 ounces heavy whipping cream
• 1 ounce potato flakes (optional)
• 4 ounces shredded Asiago cheese
• 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 ounces fresh spinach
• 4 ounces cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook the sliced chicken breasts in olive oil, seasoning with Italian herbs until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

🔥 Be sure to cook chicken on medium-low heat to ensure it remains juicy and tender.

2. Once the chicken is cooked, uncover the skillet and add white wine, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes until the mushrooms soften.

3. Pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add half of the Asiago and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until melted and thickened, adding potato flakes if needed to reduce thickening time.

🧀 Potato flakes not only help thicken the sauce but also add a hint of flavor. Adjust the amount based on your desired consistency!

4. Fold in the fresh spinach and remaining cheeses, cooking until the spinach wilts down.

5. Serve warm, topped with the crumbled bacon and any extra cheese for extra deliciousness!

🍽 Pair with a side salad or crusty bread to soak up that wonderful creamy sauce!

Variations

• Low-carb: Skip the potato flakes and serve it over cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
• Herbed: Experiment with different fresh herbs like basil or thyme for a unique twist.
