More About This Recipe

  • You don’t have to go to Italy to sample this chicken carbonara recipe. The origin of carbonara is still a mystery, but we’re happy it’s still popular today, and is even easier to make in your own kitchen. The word “carbonara” refers to the pasta sauce which is made by combining bacon, egg and cream. The combination of the creamy Alfredo sauce, bits of bacon and egg make this dish a true carbonara feast, and the added protein from the chicken helps to keep you satisfied. This recipe proves that bacon and chicken together is never a bad idea. Feel the same way? We have more recipes you’ll enjoy like our Chicken-Bacon Alfredo Penne Casserole or this Bacon Chicken Bake.
