Chicken carbonara is beloved because it’s equal parts indulgence and practicality. While fettuccine Alfredo<\/a> flaunts its buttery, creamy decadence and classic carbonara<\/a> sticks to minimalist perfection with cured pork, cheese, eggs and pepper, chicken carbonara is the overachiever of the group. It’s hearty enough to be a full meal, thanks to juicy chicken, but it is still indulgent with its rich, cheesy sauce and smoky bacon. This dish is a little bit fancy, a little bit practical and a whole lot of delicious.<\/p>\n Carbonara is one of my signature dishes, but it has<\/em> taken a little practice. After several failed attempts when learning how to make chicken carbonara\u2014involving scrambled eggs (and some very spicy language)\u2014I discovered the keys to success: patience and timing. Whether you’re a die-hard traditionalist or just want a comforting plate of pasta, this dish is here to win you over. So grab your apron, some pantry staples and a pinch of curiosity\u2014let’s make some pasta dreams come true.<\/p>\n Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1-1\/2 cups pasta water and drain the remaining.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>We add just a hint of salt and save pasta water<\/a> to add to the sauce to make it silky smooth.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 3\/4 cup grated cheese, then set aside.<\/p>\n Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, seven to eight minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>You can also try baking the bacon<\/a>; just be sure to save all the grease.<\/p>\n Season the chicken breasts with 1\/2 teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper. Add them to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook for four to five minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown on the edges and cooked through. Remove them to a cutting board and let them rest for five minutes. Slice them into thin strips.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Avoid making one of the most common mistakes when cooking chicken<\/a>\u00a0and be sure to pound the breasts to an even thickness before cooking.<\/p>\n In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook one minute longer. Add the reserved 1-1\/2 cups pasta water and bring to a simmer. Add the spaghetti, the remaining 1\/4 teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the egg and cheese mixture. Toss it with tongs until the sauce has thickened. Add your cooked bacon back to the pan and toss to combine.<\/p>\n Serve the pasta carbonara in bowls. Top with the sliced chicken and the remaining 1\/2 cup grated cheese. If desired, top with additional freshly ground black pepper.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>The sauce thickens like magic, but keep that burner on low (or off)\u2014scrambled egg pasta isn’t what we’re going for.<\/p>\n Cool the chicken carbonara recipe and store the leftovers in an airtight container. It will be good in the refrigerator for up to three days, although it might not be as saucy.<\/p>\n It’s best not to freeze chicken with carbonara, as the creamy sauce can get weirdly grainy and separate.<\/p>\n Heat it gently in a skillet with a splash of pasta water or chicken broth to revive the sauce.<\/p>\n You should always cook chicken breasts to an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F. If you don’t have a thermometer, slice into one of the chicken breasts; the juices should run clear.<\/p>\n A splash of reserved pasta water works wonders. I always save a little more than what’s called for to adjust the texture as needed. If your sauce gets too thin, keep it on the heat for a few moments longer to thicken.<\/p>\n You can start with any Italian appetizer<\/a>, but bruschetta<\/a> is a beautiful warm-up to the pasta. This chicken carbonara recipe begs pairing with a crisp green salad<\/a>, some garlic bread<\/a> or a glass of white wine\u2014or all three.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
