Creamy Chicken, Bacon and Spinach Rice

Ingredients

For 1 serving

• 200 g (7 oz) chicken breast, finely diced
• 70 g (⅓ cup) white rice, uncooked
• 25 g (1 oz) bacon, diced
• 150 ml (⅔ cup) light cooking cream (10–12% fat) or half-and-half
• 15 g (3 tbsp) grated parmesan
• 1 handful (30 g / 1 cup) fresh spinach
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder
• Cooking spray or a few drops of oil for the pan

Instructions

1. 1Cook the rice in plenty of salted water for about 12 minutes, then drain so the grains stay separate.
2. 2Lightly grease a pan and cook the chicken over medium-high heat until lightly browned.
3. 3Add the bacon and cook until crisp, then add the spinach and stir until it wilts.
4. 4Pour in the cream, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
5. 5Put the rice on a plate, spoon the chicken and sauce over it and finish with the parmesan.

Tips

• 💡 Sliced mushrooms go really well in the sauce.
• 💡 Swap the bacon for smoked sausage, or the rice for pasta.
