Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Carbonara
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine and cook it until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes; reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Sauté for about 5 minutes until crispy, then add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add the chicken strips, seasoning with kosher salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Lower the heat and return the crispy turkey bacon and sautéed garlic to the skillet. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs with Parmesan and parsley. Remove the skillet from heat, then pour this mixture over the pasta and toss quickly.
- Gradually add reserved pasta water to the Carbonara, tossing until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency, then adjust seasoning.
- Plate the Chicken Carbonara immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley.
