This was wonderful! Never mind the fact that I took the chicken out of the pan, put it on paper towels, went out to throw away trash and came back in to find that the dog had counter surfed and eaten one of our chickens! We ended up splitting the remaining piece, but it was wonderful! I topped with tomato slices and parm cheese when I put them back into the pan, and our only complaint was against the klepto dog! I'll certainly make this again and again.

I served this over pasta and it was a big hit! WIll make again.

This recipe has the potential to be a good one, but the wine sauce was thin and strongly tasted of wine. You could not taste anything else but the wine. Next time, I will replace most of the wine with chicken stock and thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch or flour.

Thanks, Kris! My husband wants me to keep this recipe, which I'm happy to do as it's easy and flavorful. My "bunch of spinach" was two bags of prewashed--took a little stuffing into the pan initially, but then it cooked right down into a nice amount, and I used the chicken thighs on hand. BTW, we also didn't have extra grease to pour off. The wine, sadly, was just old cooking wine because everything else disappears around here and I don't have it when I need it, but in your recipe it worked well. Thanks very much for "Kris's Spinach and Bacon Chicken."

Good stuff! Everything went well as I was preparing this recipe. Step #3 says to pour out remaining bacon fat...I didn't have any left over. Actually I had to add a tablespoon of evoo to finish frying my chicken (no big deal). Then before I added the spinach I put 1 T of butter in the pan and sauted 2 big cloves of garlic. Then I immediately added the "wine" (I used chicken broth instead because I didn't have any wine)and the spinach. I used a whole bag of baby spinach and it was the right amount. My husband liked it, my 3 little girls liked it (5 year old kept asking for more cilantro (spinach!) with her chicken!) and I liked it. The sauce is very thin (no big deal to me). I can't wait to email the recipe to my sisters and mother-in-law! Thanks for another great one!

This was VERY rich, VERY filling but wonderful! I followed the recipe but was almost out of white cooking wine... so I compensated with what I had which happened to be rum (how hillbilly is that?!). I had a dish similar to this at a rather upscale Italian Restaurant north of Chicago (minus the rum I'd imagine). I have never been able to duplicate it exactly. I think this recipe came really close but the sauce was a bit heavier - or maybe just more of it (thanks, Captain Morgan). Seems it would be easy to adjust the recipe; lose the bacon, add garlic to the sauce etc.. All around great, easy recipe!

This recipe is SO easy and delicious. I prepared this dish for my girlfriend tonight because we had been wanting to try it for the last week. Bacon? Heavy cream? What else is there in life, really? That being said this recipe is surprisingly delicate. It may be too bland for you if you are the type of person who is used to or prefers a lot of salt or other seasonings in your food. My girlfriend didn't like this at all. She thought it was too bland. The word bacon alone makes most of us think yummy, greasy flavor. There really isn't that much bacon in the recipe and i think it adds just the right touch of guilt. I served this dish over penne pasta and I will definitely make it again but not for my girlfriend!

Yummo!!! The only changes I made was that I added 1 1/2 cups of sliced mushrooms and used Marsala instead of white wine. So good! Will make it a regular at my house now. Even my boys, ages 7 and 21 months ate seconds!!

i did this recipe and it was great i used a sauvignon blanc white wine but the sauce could use a little kick i added pepper and garlic to the mix. i will definately make again

I followed the recipe exactly.I love all the ingredients in this recipe so I thought it would be great. It was terrible! I used real white wine (not cooking wine) Maybe I should have used cooking wine because the sauce tasted really bad, and cooking the chicken in the bacon grease made my house smell really bad. If I could give this recipe no stars I would.

Flavor was good but sauce was a bit runny. Maybe I didn't add enough spinach. Added rice to thicken.

best dinner my husband has ever had. will try it with pheasant too. easy and elegant- put the spinach on the plate first -chicken on top- looks better.

liked the chicken hated the sauce

I used cream of chicken soup in lieu of heavy cream, but this recipe was wonderful!

This was very tasty, I admit the wilted spinach doesn't look great but it tastes good so who cares.

i cooked this recipe pretty much to the letter for my husband (i'm a vegetarian so i cannot taste along the way) and his complaint was the spinach came out too tough. i didn't cook it very long so i think maybe if it was steamed and added to the dish upon serving? he also found it , despite his love of bacon, a bit on the bland side overall. I will not make this dish again. Thanks for posting it anyway.

Normally I avoid anything with heavy cream AND bacon, but I had both on hand and gave this a try. How can you go wrong with this combination of ingrediants? This is a fabulous recipe (I used a pinot gregio)! It is so fast, so easy, and so delicious. As for the ugly duckling - it really didn't look that bad, just make sure you don't cook the spinach to death. Thanks, Kris!
