Bacon and spinach? Sure, you're saying to yourself, in a quiche… but not just that! The flavors that go together so good with egg also go well with egg's, well, parent: a juicy and tender piece of chicken. Cooked together with rich cream, you'll wonder, after finishing your plate, what else spinach and bacon can go with.
