@brighteyes847: Creamy Slow-Cooked Chicken Stroganoff with Crispy Bacon, Mushrooms, Spinach, and Golden Caramelized ONIONS-COOKING WITH BRIGHT EYES Ingredients: 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces 6 slices bacon, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 cup sour cream 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 3 cups fresh baby spinach 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped Cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving Directions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized. Transfer the onions to a plate. Add the olive oil to the skillet if needed. Season the chicken pieces with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper, then sear them in batches for 2-3 minutes per side. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to soften and the garlic becomes fragrant. Transfer the chicken, mushrooms, and garlic to a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, then stir in the Dijon mustard. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Stir in the softened cream cheese and sour cream until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add the fresh spinach and stir gently until it wilts into the hot sauce, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in half of the crispy bacon and half of the caramelized onions. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Top each serving with the remaining caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and fresh parsley.
