1
Preheat a large pan over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb extra fat.
2
Drain excess bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add diced white onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until they become translucent.
3
Add chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
When the chicken is about halfway cooked, stir in green beans, mushrooms, and crumbled bacon.
5
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Pour in coconut milk, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and stir to mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a slow simmer.
7
Let everything cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken and vegetables are cooked thoroughly.
8
Stir in baby spinach leaves and cook for an additional 2 minutes to wilt the spinach.
9
Remove the pan from heat once the spinach is wilted and the sauce is well combined into the dish.
