Ingredients
  

8 oz pasta (your choice: fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)

4 strips of bacon, chopped

1 lb chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup spinach, fresh

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

    Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.

      Sear the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the sliced chicken breast. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Make the Sauce: To the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the cream cheese and chicken broth, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the broth, creating a creamy sauce.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilt and the tomatoes are slightly softened. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

            Mix in Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta, crispy bacon, and seared chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Dish the pasta onto plates, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and basil leaves if desired. Enjoy your delicious Cream Cheese Bacon Chicken Pasta!
