Awesome Spaghetti Carbonara W Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN CARBONARA

Steps:

• Pasta: Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• Eggs: Whisk the 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks with 1 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Meats: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium high heat. When almost crisped, add the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the bacon is done. Remove the bacon and chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Start the sauce: Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the pasta cooking water into the skillet along with the spaghetti. Toss the spaghetti until the sauce starts to become thickened and glossy. Turn off the heat.
• Finish the sauce: Pour the egg and Parmesan mixture into the skillet, and toss the pasta. Continue to toss the pasta until the sauce is thick and the eggs are fully cooked. Add the bacon and chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine.
• Garnish: Top with the remaining cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

PASTA CARBONARA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pancetta and prosciutto; saute until crisp and brown, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, basil, and parsley together in a large bowl until blended.
• Return chicken mixture to the stove over medium-low heat. Add drained penne and cream mixture; toss over medium-low heat until penne is thickly coated, about 4 minutes; do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Transfer to a large, wide serving bowl and serve immediately.

• Remove the pasta from heat. Drain for about 5 seconds and put into warmed serving bowl.

CHICKEN CARBONARA

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.

CARBONARA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the garlic and pancetta until crisp, then add the chicken strips and fry briefly until they're just cooked through. Fish out the garlic clove and discard it. Beat the eggs with the grana padano and some black pepper.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water to the pancetta pan along with the butter, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Pour in the egg mixture, take the pan off the heat and toss together so the egg cooks in the heat of the pasta. Divide between four warm bowls and top with more cheese, if you like.
