    Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Add the bacon pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they're crispy.

    3

    Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

    4

    In the same skillet, add the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

    5

    While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking the chicken.

    6

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.

    7

    Add the spinach and let it wilt down for about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Finally, stir in the crispy bacon and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top. Allow it to melt slightly before serving.
