Provided by Becky Hardin

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices thick-cut bacon (chopped)
6 chicken tenders
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 lb spaghetti
6 egg yolks
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup pasta water
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season liberally with salt.
  • Heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add bacon. Cook bacon until is crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove. Drain on a paper towel.
  • While the bacon cooks, add egg yolks, parmesan cheese, cream, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides. Add to the rendered bacon fat and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside and slice.
  • While the chicken cooks, drop the pasta into the water. Cook until just under aldente (it will continue to cook when you toss the pasta with the sauce.)
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat to medium and add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Use the tongs to transfer the pasta to the garlic and bacon fat. Toss to combine. Reserve starchy cooking liquid.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and while tossing the pasta, pour in the egg, cream, and cheese mixture. Toss together and place back over a low flame. Continue to toss the pasta until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick, about 2-3 minutes. Do not turn the heat up too high or you could curdle the eggs, a very low heat works great. Add the bacon back in and toss again. If needed, add pasta water ¼ cup at a time to reach desired consistency of sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on top. Serve!

CHICKEN CARBONARA



Chicken Carbonara image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 42m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt
1 pound spaghetti
4 cups coarsely shredded chicken (from 1 roasted chicken)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and saute until it is brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, cheese, yolks, basil, and parsley to blend.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Add the chicken to the pan with the pancetta and stir to combine. Next, add the spaghetti and the cream mixture and toss over medium-low heat until the chicken is heated through and the sauce coats the spaghetti thickly, about 4 minutes (do not boil or you might end up scrambling the eggs). Season the pasta, to taste, with pepper and salt if needed (the pancetta will likely add all the salt you need). Transfer the pasta to a large wide serving bowl. Sprinkle the walnuts and lemon zest over, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta – it should be al dente.
  • Use a good quality carbonara sauce, or make your own from scratch.
  • Add plenty of grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta for a rich, cheesy flavor.
  • Top the pasta with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, while it's hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Chicken carbonara pasta bake is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, tender chicken, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
