Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of water with 1 tbsp salt to a boil (use same for 4 servings).
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the Italian Seasoning, half the garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
- Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)
- Transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven for 5-6 min, until cooked through.**
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bacon strips in a single layer. Roast bacon in the bottom of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
- Using tongs, remove bacon to paper towel-lined plate.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
- Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then onions and garlic. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until onions soften.
- Add spinach, tomato, remaining Italian Seasoning and remaining garlic salt.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts.
- To the pan with veggies, add cream, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, sour cream and reserved pasta water.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add linguine to the pan with sauce. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until coated.
- Divide linguine between bowls, then top with chicken.
- Roughly crumble bacon over top.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
