Ingredients

6 pieces bacon cut into 1 inch pieces, bacon grease reserved
1-1½ lbs chicken breast thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup coconut cream if you buy a can of coconut milk, put it in the fridge for an hour to let the cream separate from the water then use the cream part only
1 cup chicken broth
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes cut into 1/2 inch pieces, if from a jar, make sure to drain liquid and pat dry
1 cup spinach

Instructions

Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and set aside.
If using thicker chicken breast pieces, using a sharp knife cut through the center horizontally to create pieces about a half-inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano on both sides of chicken. Set aside.
In a large skillet set to medium heat, cook bacon until nicely crisped (about 4-5 minutes). Remove bacon pieces and set on a paper towel-lined plate.
Onto the skillet with the bacon grease left, add chicken breasts. Cook for about 2-3 minutes and flip to continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Internal temperature should be at least 155°F. It will continue cooking.
Whisk together the chicken broth, nutritional yeast and coconut cream. Pour into skillet with chicken along with the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cover and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
