Season 4 chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook 6 chopped bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
Stir in 2 cups fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Add 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp onion powder, mixing well.
Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with cooked bacon and simmer for 5 minutes.
