Chicken Carbonara Recipe

Step 1

Cook pasta per package directions, aiming for al dente.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cream, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, oregano, basil, and parsley until combined.

Step 3

Place a large frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add diced bacon, and cook until crispy, for about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add onion and garlic and continue to cook and stir for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chicken to the pan, toss and stir and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the chicken is warm.

Step 6

Reduce heat to low-medium and add the spaghetti to the pan, toss to combine and pour the cream mixture on top. Toss again to combine and ONLY cook for about 4-5 minutes. Cooking longer will make the eggs turn into scrambled eggs.

Step 7

Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

Step 8

Garnish with parsley, more grated parmesan cheese and serve.
