Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken With Spinach and Tomatoes

5-6 Boneless Chicken breast

4 TBS Olive Oil or enough to coat pan

4 TBS Butter

2 TBS Minced Garlic

1 small Yellow Onion, diced

3 Cups Chicken Broth (or more if needed)

1/2 Cup Bacon Pieces

1 to 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

3 cups Baby Spinach Leaves, cut into shreds

1 Cup Salad Tomatoes (Grape Tomatoes)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 TBS  Mrs Dash Chicken Seasoning

1 TBS McCormick's Salad Supreme 

1 Cup Shredded Mozzerela cheese

1-2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour


DIRECTIONS

1.  Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and sear in the pan for 5-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Once cooked, remove chicken from the pan, dice up and set aside.

2.  Melt the butter in the remaining cooking juices leftover in the pan. Add in the onion garlic and bacon and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Add in the All purpose flour and stir until combined. Pour in the chicken stock.

3. Add Mrs. Dash seasoning and Salad Supreme seasoning.

4.  Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, add tomatoes, then add
the heavy whipping cream, and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Make sure to lower the heat to avoid the sauce to separate.

5. Add the chicken back into the pan.
Top with Mozzarella Cheese and toss ingredients in the pan. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce.

6. Serve as a complete meal or with fresh vegetables such as Zucchini, Squash or Asparagus and Breadsticks.
