Bacon, cream, and Parmesan cheese make this dish incredibly delicious, just like at a restaurant. Chicken and bacon are fried separately in a pan, and then the remaining juices are used to make a quick, creamy sauce with tomatoes and spinach. Stir in cooked fettuccine pasta, chicken pieces, and crispy bacon, and top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. The result is a quintessentially Italian dish with luxurious flavor and aroma.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions; drain.
Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large cold skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes; transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Season the chicken lightly with salt and black pepper and place it in the pan in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate with the bacon.
Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cream and bring to a boil, then add the spinach and stir until completely wilted. Add the bacon, chicken, fettuccine, and Parmesan and toss with tongs to evenly distribute the ingredients; season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
