Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) chicken breast
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided

- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts sliced
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions

- In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat.

- In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Add the onion to the hot oil and cook until it begins to soften and brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and the artichokes, and cook until the artichokes have warmed through, about 1 minute.
- Add the pasta, the shredded chicken, the spinach, the heavy cream, and the chopped bacon to the pan and stir to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
