Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place the medium sauce pot on medium-low heat with 2-3 teaspoons of butter or oil. Add the spinach then sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the rice, 3 tablespoons of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt then cover the pot. Steam for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. For softer rice, add an additional 2 tablespoons of water and cook longer. Remove from heat and set aside for plating.

Cut each strip of bacon in half. Place the medium skillet on medium heat with 2-4 teaspoons of oil. Preheat the pan for 1 minute then add the cut bacon. Cook for 3-4 minutes to begin crisping.

Remove the chicken breasts from the package and pat dry. Move the bacon strips to one side of the pan then gently add in the chicken breasts. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip the chicken breasts and strips of bacon over. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan to be used in the next step. Turn off the burner. (If your skillet is not oven proof, transfer the chicken breasts to an oven proof casserole dish before Step 4.)

Spoon the BBQ sauce over the breasts plus rinse the container out with 2 tablespoons of water and add that to the pan. Top each breast with half of the roasted peppers and onions then layer the bacon across. Lastly, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the breasts. Place in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is thoroughly cooked. It is recommended to cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165ºF. Turn off all heating elements.

To plate, divide the rice between 2 plates. Use the spatula to place a piece of chicken on each plate then pour on any juices that have accumulated. Top with the green onion crema.
