Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for about 3 minutes.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). Remove from the air fryer and set aside.

- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
- Add the garlic powder and onion powder, mixing well.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with the cooked bacon and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
