Extra Bacon Chicken Pasta Carbonara
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 oz of spaghetti
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook 12 oz of spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook 4 slices of chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the chicken and bacon. Toss to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring the eggs do not scramble. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.
- Garnish with the crispy bacon and fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
