Step 1
Cook the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
Step 2
Season the chicken as desired. Heat the drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
Step 3
Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook and stir for 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in the soup and stock and heat to a boil. Stir in the beans. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the spinach and lemon juice and cook until spinach is wilted. Season to taste. Sprinkle with the bacon.

What other soup, besides mushroom, could you add for a great flavor. Cream of chicken is by far my least favorite to cook with. Also, would it cook up ok if I left out the beans. Fussy fussy family. I rated this 5, without preparing it, because it looks so good.
Skillet Chicken with Spinach & Sausage
The original recipe was good, however, I decided to add/replace bacon with Italian sausage and additional mushrooms. Served over rice it was delicious! The 2 of us had enough for 2 complete meals with Italian bread and side salad. Thank you.
AWESOME!
Made this tonight for dinner. I did use 3 strips of bacon as they were a bit whimpy. I also added a couple of handfuls of shredded sharp cheese as I screwed up and added too much broth....I still boiled it down for a bit first. IT IS VERY YUMMY! We served it in bowls. Oh, tear your spinach up first.
Chicken Toscano
What a delicious meal. I will be making this again and again. So easy and very flavorful.
Really Good!
We like this one a lot! You don't realize it's a mushroom soup recipe -- just that it tastes great. I accidentally cut the chicken into smaller pieces (read, don't assume) but the result was good; I'll keep doing it that way. Does the two of us for two dinners, generously. I add a salad along side.
