Instructions

Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper.

Pour the cream mixture into the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil the sauce.

Add the cooked spaghetti, chicken, and bacon to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Stir in the chopped parsley.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Final Notes

Chicken Carbonara is best served immediately while the sauce is still creamy and the pasta is hot. Pair it with a simple side salad and crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
