Preparation
1
Cook bacon

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • While the pan heats, line a plate with paper towels.
  • Cut bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch strips.
  • When the pan is hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring often, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: Reduce heat to medium if bacon is browning too quickly!)
  • Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to the prepared plate.
  • Reserve bacon fat in pan. (NOTE: You will use pan with bacon fat in step 2 and step 4.)

2
Finish prep and cook chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When bacon is done, reheat the same pan over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add chicken. Sear until golden, 1-2 min per side.
  • Remove from heat, then transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. 
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 10-12 min.**
  • Strip sage leaves from stems on a clean cutting board. (NOTE: You will use leaves and stems.)

3
Make sauce

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, onions, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and sage stems. Stir until fragrant, 1-2 min. 
  • Add squash, cream, cream cheese, garlic salt and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with pepper. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to medium. 
  • Cook until squash is tender, 10-12 min. 
  • Remove from heat, then remove and discard sage stems.
  • Using a masher, mash mixture until sauce reaches desired creaminess.

4
Fry pepitas and sage leaves

  • Meanwhile, reheat the pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high.
  • When hot, add pepitas and sage leaves. Fry until pepitas are golden and sage begins to crisp, 1 min.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried pepitas and sage leaves to the paper-towel lined plate with bacon. Season fried pepitas and sage leaves with salt while still hot. Set aside.

5
Cook linguine

  • Meanwhile, return water to a boil over high heat.
  • Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. 
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain linguine and return to the same pot, off heat.

6
Finish and serve

  • Add sauce, half the bacon and half the Parmesan to the pot with linguine. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
  • Thinly slice chicken
  • Divide linguine between bowls.
  • Top with chicken.
  • Sprinkle fried pepitas, fried sage leaves, remaining bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
