Hey pasta peeps! 🍴 If you love creamy pasta with a little bit of that crispy bacon crunch, you’re in for a TREAT today!
This Chicken Carbonara is super easy to make, packed with flavor, and totally perfect for a weeknight dinner.
We’re talkin’ tender chicken, crispy bacon, and a creamy, dreamy sauce that’s gonna have you going back for seconds (or thirds). Ready to make it? Let’s gooo! 😋
Ingredients:
- 1 lb spaghetti (or any pasta you like)
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup bacon, chopped (crispy is key! 🥓)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Let’s Get Cooking! 👩🍳
1.Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until al dente. Drain it, but save a cup of pasta water—you’ll need it later to make that sauce extra silky! 🍝💦
2.Cook the Chicken & Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy, then remove and set it aside. In the same pan, add the diced chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through. 🥓🍗
3.Whisk the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. This is where all the creamy goodness comes from! 😍
4.Combine It All: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the chicken, and toss everything together over low heat. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly. Add in a little bit of that reserved pasta water to make the sauce super creamy
Bacon Time: Toss in the crispy bacon and mix it all up. Give it a taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Keep stirring until everything is well coated and creamy! Yasss! 🙌
Serve It Up: Plate your Chicken Carbonara and garnish with some fresh parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy. Serve it hot and enjoy every cheesy, creamy bite!
Enjoy! 🍝
