Feast your eyes on this Loaded Chicken Carbonara!
Now, let’s talk about what you’ll need for this delightful dish. Gather these ingredients:
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 4 strips bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to get cooking. Here’s how to throw this beauty together:
- Start by boiling some salted water in a pot. Once it’s bubbling, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- In a heavy skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it’s nice and crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on some paper towels, but leave that tasty grease in the pan.
- In the same skillet, toss in the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- When your chicken is almost done, add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute – you want that garlic aroma to fill the kitchen.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan until well combined. Now, here’s the key: Once your pasta is in the skillet, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing it all together. The heat from the pasta will cook those eggs gently, making a creamy sauce.
- Toss in the bacon and any reserved pasta water if needed, until you achieve that desired creamy consistency.
- Finish it off by garnishing with fresh parsley and a little extra cheese if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it! A Loaded Chicken Carbonara that’s sure to please everyone at the table. Enjoy your meal and the good company, ‘cause that’s what it’s all about.
