Ingredients

2 slices bacon
2 skinless chicken breasts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup baby spinach leaves
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives

Steps:

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon slices, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Place on a plate to cool. Crumble with your fingers and set aside.
Cook chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip over and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange Cheddar cheese on top of each breast and let melt.
Arrange baby spinach on a serving plate. Place the chicken on top. Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chives.
