  3. In a large skillet, fry the diced bacon until just crisp. With a slotted spoon transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.

Add the chicken broth and cream, stirring until blended. Stir in the chicken and cook until thickened and bubbly.

  5. Sprinkle the drained bacon over the spinach, then pour the hot chicken mixture over all.

  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  7. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is lightly browned.
